Abstract

This topical review gathers the last updates concerning caesium-free negative ion sources presented during the \(63{\mathrm {rd}}\) Course of the International school of Quantum Electronics of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and European collaborative works related to these lectures. Hence, beyond the frame of this course this topical review addresses both theoretical and experimental work performed during these last few years and complexities represented by the conception of a negative ion source ranging from the creation of negative ions to their neutralization.

The work of Sect. 2.2 was carried out within the framework of the French Federation for Magnetic Fusion Studies (FR-FCM) and received some funding from FR-FCM. Concerning Sect. 2.3, the C12A7-Electride was supplied from AGC Inc. The authors would like to thank H. Hosono for the use of C12A7-Electride and technical support by Naomichi Miyakawa, Satoru Watanabe, and Kazuho of AGC Inc. It has also received funding from the Excellence Initiative of Aix-Marseille University-A*Midex, a French “Investissements d’Avenir programme” AMX-19-IET-013. The work presented in Sect. 3.1 was partially supported by the “Andreas Mentzelopoulos” Ph.D. Scholarships of the University of Patras (M. Mitrou). Work presented in Sect. 3.2 set up in collaboration and financial support of INFN (project INFN-E and Group 5, experiments Plasma4beam and Ion2neutral). Work presented in Sect. 3.2 gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Swiss National Science Foundation and the mechanical and electronic workshops of the Swiss Plasma Center for their collaboration. For the work presented in Sect. 4.1, authors gratefully acknowledge financial support of the Commissariat à l”Energie Atomique (CEA) and the French Fédération de Recherche sur la Fusion Magnétique (FR-FCM). In addition, works reported in Sects. 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.3 and 4.1.3 have also been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and have received funding from the Euratom research and training program 2014–2018 and 2019–2020 under Grant Agreement No. 633053.
