ECRF injector magnet mount (12/21/2006)

Milled out of 1/2" aluminum, each will mount three 0.5" diameter by 1" length rare earth magnets.

New magnets will allow operation at 900MHz ECRF excitation.

RF / O-ring /HV Mount (3/17/2007)

Angled countersink compresses 1/4" ID, 1/8" thick o-ring onto high alumina gas feed through and mating flange.

ECRF injector (3/17/2007)

Magnet mounts attached to a 2.75" conflat half nipple.

ECRF injector (3/17/2007)

ECRF injector (3/17/2007)

Feed through covers (5/25/2007)

Electrical feed throughs are shielded with a teflon cylinder to allow operation up to 15kV without the insulators arcing over to the gas feed through.

Injector is shown with RF matching network and HV decoupling capacitors attached.

Molybdenum wire (5/25/2007)

0.03" diameter molybdenum wire is used to fabricate the antenna coil. Molybdenum was chosen due to its higher melting temperature, better conductivity and lower sputtering coefficient when compared to stainless steel.

Antenna coil (5/25/2007)

Molybdenum antenna coil is approximately 1cm in diameter, 0.8cm high and has 5.5 turns.

Injector test bed (5/25/2007)

Injector is coupled to test bed for testing of antenna system.

Injector ICP test setup (5/25/2007)

RF ionization is preliminarily tested as an inductively coupled plasma at 150MHz instead of at the ECRF resonance frequency of 900MHz since the 900MHz drive system is not yet complete.

Injector ICP test (5/25/2007)

Injector successfully ionizes under 150MHz ICP excitation. Injector was driven at 20W, with 5W reflected since the matching network and antenna were designed for 900MHz operation

Assembly of final injector design (2/14/2008)
