The reported advances with small sources of negative ions, especially negative hydrogen ions, drive the progress of many accelerators and enable new research methods and technologies. Large sources of negative deuterium ions are being developed for the international experimental fusion reactor (ITER) that will require 40 MW of plasma heating. The developments increasingly use computer modeling to understand the underlying physics, improve existing, and develop new technologies.
