Abstract
The ion source for the Spallation Neutron Source of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is required to produce
a substantial amount of H- current. To help the ion source produce this current, a DC, glow-discharge
plasma gun was designed using coupled fluid dynamic, heat transfer, mechanical stress and deformation,
and ion/electron trajectory simulations. In this report, the initial design, simulations results, and
experimental data will be discussed.
