A hydrogen plasma driven by the Ta filament showed lower electron temperature and higher ratio of positive ion saturation current to negative ion/electron saturation current than a plasma excited by the W filament. Plasma potential indicated different spatial distribution along the direction of H− ion extraction corresponding to the voltage biased on the plasma electrode. These results are correlated to the intensities of the H− ion extraction current.}, title = {Electric Potential Structure in the Extraction Region of the Negative Hydrogen Ion Source}, volume = {14}, year = {2019} }
