The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is developing a novel Two-Region Arc Plasma Ion Source (TRAP) as a negative hydrogen (deuterium) ion source for a Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) system in a fusion tokamak. The TRAP ion source is based on a two-region configuration, comprising a high energy electron region that creates highly vibrationally excited molecules and a low electron temperature region that generates negative ions by attaching electrons to molecules. This configuration can be achieved by optimizing the filament position and magnetic cusp field. In order to optimize the TRAP configuration, the plasma parameters are investigated under various operating conditions, such as filament position, gas pressure, and arc power. Electron density and temperature are determined using Langmuir probe measurements. In this paper, the detailed experimental results are described and discussed
