Abstract: Recently, a lot of effort is put into producing negative hydrogen ion by using bucket type ion sources. The key issue in the production of negative hydrogen ion is to control primary electron penetration in the production region in which negative ion is produced. We developed an EEDF (electron energy distribution function) measurement system to investigate the primary electron distribution in ion sources.
