Abstract
The ion source, acceleration tube, and beam transport system for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) T(d,n) **3He neutron sources are described. To produce 4 multiplied by 10**1**3 n/s, a 150-mA D** plus beam at 400 keV is required. A 17-aperture version of the reflex-arc MATS-III ion source is under test for this use. To simplify the acceleration tube and beam transport design, a 90 degree double-focusing magnet is to be used to separate the D** plus component from molecular beam components. Emittance mesurements on the resulting D** plus beam are given. A four-gap, uniform-field acceleration column has been designed. Beam trajectory calculations for the acceleration column and transport system are presented.
