Abstract: Examines the underlying mechanisms involved in the heat loading on the accelerator grids and plasma chamber components of multimegawatt ion sources. Heat loading due to arc discharge; Mechanisms occurring in the accel column that contribute to heat loading on the source components; Variation in power deposition with change in decel voltage; Effect of variation of the beam perveance on heat loadings.
