Development and Applications of Negative Ion Sources

Dr. Vadim Dudnikov holds a Ph.D. in Accelerator Physics from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, part of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His array of substantial research accomplishments includes the development of charge exchange injection, the discovery, explanation and damping of the e-p instability (the electron cloud effect), and the discovery of the cesiation effect (enhancement of negative ion emission after adding cesium to the discharge); he has developed many different versions of surface plasma sources. He has extensive experience in both academia and industry, having held positions at (among others) the Budker Institute, Novosibirsk State University, the University of Maryland, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Fermilab, Superior Design, Inc., South Cross Corp and Brookhaven Technology Group, Inc. Since 2009, he has been the Principle Investigator in the development of ion sources, beam physics and diagnostics at Muons, Inc. Dr.Dudnikov is author or co-author of more than 200 publications and holds numerous patents.

Vadim Dudnikov 博士擁有來自俄羅斯科學院西伯利亞分院布德克核物理研究所的加速器物理學博士學位。他在研究領域的重大成就包括電荷交換注入的開發、電子雲效應（e-p 不穩定性）的發現、解釋及阻尼，以及發現了銫效應（在放電中添加銫後負離子發射的增強）；他還開發了多種不同版本的表面等離子體源。他在學術界和工業界擁有豐富的經驗，曾在布德克研究所、新西伯利亞國立大學、馬里蘭大學、橡樹嶺國家實驗室、費米實驗室、Superior Design, Inc.、South Cross Corp 和布魯克海文科技集團等機構任職。自2009年以來，他一直擔任 Muons, Inc. 的離子源、束流物理和診斷的首席研究員。Dudnikov 博士是200多篇出版物的作者或合著者，並擁有多項專利。
