An ion source for HL-2A Neutral Beam Injection(NBI)was operated successfully in March 2007,in South- western Institute of Physics.A bucket source type and three-grid-system are used in this new ion source design.The filament current of ll00A,filament voltage of 12V,arc current of 1050A,arc voltage of 120V,highest plasmas density of 2.5×10^(12)/cm^3,extracted ion beam density of 0.44A/cm^2,plasma density uniformity better than 5% in the area close to the first grid,duration of 2s,for this new source,have been achieved.The conceptual design,mechanical design and experiment result for the ion source are presented briefly in this paper.
