Many partial beamlets passing through each pinhole reach the surface of the kapton foil, and make burn pattern.

22 / 303. Results Black level detected by PPSA
The burn pattern was digitized by a scanner with a gray scale depth of 8 bit and
spatial resolution of 0.042 mm/pixel.
In this analysis, it is assumed that the increase of black level (∆𝜂) of the kapton
foil is proportional to the time integral of the beam current density.

Negative ion beam production
Large-scale nuclear fusion experiments

Common requirements of these negative ion beam productions are to produce the high current negative ion beam with good optics.
In nuclear fusion, negative-ion-based neutral beam injectors (NNBI) are an effective method to heat magnetically confined plasmas.

Neutralizer (gas, plasma, laser)
Negative ions are useful for neutral beam injections.
Neutralization efficiency of negative ions
Negative-ion-based neutral beam injection (negative-NBI) is an effective method to heat magnetically-confined plasmas because of high fraction of beam neutralization in high energy regime (180~190 keV for LHD, 1 MeV for ITER).
Maximum neutralization efficiency depended on the beam energy in the case of using the gas neutralizer
Higher than 60% even the
beam energy reaches 1 MeV!
Difficulty of negative ion beam production and extraction
■ Negative ion beam production itself is not so easy.
■ Co-extracted electrons are useless for neutral beam, so it is required to remove the electrons from the extracted particles using a series of electron deflection magnets (EDM).

A steering grid (SG) is also installed for correction of the beam axis z.
H- ions are slightly changed their orbits due to EDM and SG.

Previous study (idea of the device development)
Proceedings of LINAC 2014, Geneva, Switzerland
B. Klump, U. Ratzinger, W. Schweizer, and K. Volk
The ion beam penetrates from the left side through a
pinhole array, which made of wolfram-copper. Partial
beams hit the aluminum screen.
This collector was build and installed in a diagnostic
chamber, which also contains a Faraday cup, the
vacuum system and a viewing window.
The system can be moved into the beam by a motor
drive. For the investigations, the ion beam of the
FRANZ ion source was used.
Collector based on the pepper-pot method for
evaluation of phase space structure of ion beams

What can we do for the combination of these two diagnostics?
