title: The 25 mA continuous-wave surface-plasma source of H(-) ions.
abstract: The ion source with the Penning geometry of electrodes producing continuous-wave beam of H(-) ions with current up to 25 mA was developed. Several improvements were introduced to increase source intensity, reliability, and lifetime. The collar around the emission aperture increases the electrons filtering. The apertures' diameters of the ion-optical system electrodes were increased to generate the beam with higher intensity. An optimization of electrodes' temperature was performed.
