Description
The use of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ (triatomic hydrogen ions) presents a promising alternative to the more conventional $\mathrm{H}^-$ ions in high power proton accelerators. In this work, we examine the advantages of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ beams with respect to extraction efficiency, Lorentz dissociation, and space charge limits. The physical properties of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ enable it to overcome the injection/extraction energy and intensity limits, while still supporting charge exchange based injection and extraction with minimal beam loss. To further illustrate its potential, a conceptual design of a superconducting $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ cyclotron is briefly presented, demonstrating both its technical feasibility and performance advantages.
