He- ion can be formed by an attachment of additional electron to the excited metastable 23S1 He atom. Electron affinity in this metastable He- ion is A=0.08 eV with excitation energy 19.8 eV. Production of He- ions is difficult because the formation probability is very small but destruction probability is very high. Efficiency of He- ions generation was improved by using of an alkali vapor targets for charge exchange He- sources. Low current He- beams were used in tandem accelerators for research and technological diagnostics (Rutherford scattering). The development of high-intensity high-brightness arc-discharge ion sources at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) has opened up an opportunity for efficient production of more intense and more brighter He- beam which can be used for alpha particles diagnostics in a fusion plasma and for realization of a new type of a polarized 3He− ion source. This report discusses the high intense He- beams production and a polarized 3He− ion source based on the large difference of extra-electron auto-detachment lifetimes of the different 3He− ion hyperfine states.
