H− Negative Ion Production From a 2D Network of ECR Dipolar Plasma Sources

Hereby, five dipolar electron cyclotron resonance elementary sources are assembled to form a 2D network for H
^-
negative ion production. The resultant magnetic field of the network is considered by means of numerical and experimental data, and an artistic photo of the produced plasma is presented. Laser photodetachment measurements in these plasmas confirm the applicability of such networks to this specific purpose.
