Abstract :
We report the first use of an external current source to drive an exploding foil anode plasma source. The source is fielded in an extraction, applied-B ion diode furnished by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). An ion beam is produced with parameters approaching those required for ion beam transport research in support of the DOE ICF program. The time-resolved ion beam current density is measured using Rutherford scattering and a novel Faraday cup developed at Cornell University.
