In a negative hydrogen (H ) ion cyclotron, a system and method for improving the efficiency of the cyclotron by minimizing loss, i.e., neutralization, of H- ions within the acceleration region of the cyclotron caused by gas stripping. The system includes a cyclotron volume, an ion source within the ion source volume is maintained at a negative potential and located proximate the cyclotron center on the plane of acceleration. The vacuum system includes a main vacuum pump for evacuating the cyclotron volume and an ion source pump for separately evacuating the ion source volume to remove hydrogen (H2) gas molecules which could cause gas stripping if injected into the cyclotron volume.

Dans un cyclotron à ions négatifs d'hydrogène (H-), on décrit un système et une méthode conçus pour améliorer le rendement du cyclotron en évitant la perte, c'est-à-dire la neutralisation, d'ions H- dans la zone d'accélération du cyclotron, qui est provoquée par stripage du gaz. Le système comprend un volume de cyclotron, une source d'ions à l'intérieur d'un volume de source d'ions qui est maintenue à un potentiel négatif et située à proximité du centre du cyclotron sur le plan d'accélération. L'installation de vide comprend une pompe à vide principale permettant l'évacuation du volume de cyclotron et une pompe de source d'ions pour évacuer séparément le volume de source d'ions afin d'enlever les molécules de gaz d'hydrogène (H2) qui pourraient provoquer le stripage du gaz si elles étaient injectées dans le volume de cyclotron.
