After developing a pulsed 8X source for H− beams, we are now testing a cooled, dc version. The design dc power density on the cathode surface is 900 W/cm2, much higher than achieved in any previously reported Penning surface-plasma source. The source is designed to accommodate dc arc power levels up to 30 kW by cooling the electrode surfaces with pressurized, hot water. After striking the arc using a 600-V pulser, a 350-V dc power supply is switched in to sustain the 100-V discharge. Now our tests are concentrating on arc pulse lengths ≤1 s. Ultimately, the discharge will be operated dc. The source is described and the initial arc test results are presented.
