Preliminary design of a 10 MV ion accelerator

Description: At the low energy end of an induction linac HIF driver the beam current is limited by our ability to control space charge by a focusing system. As a consequence, HIF induction accelerator designs feature simultaneous acceleration of many beams in parallel within a single accelerator structure. As the speed of the beams increase, the focusing system changes from electrostatic to magnetic quadrupoles with a corresponding increase in the maximum allowable current. At that point the beams are merge… more

Head-to-tail velocity tilt in an ion induction linac

Description: In the earleir stages of acceleration in a heavy-ion-induction linac, acceleration and bunching rates are constrained by the allowable value of head-to-tail velocity tilt at a given location. If focusing parameters at a given location are fixed, the velocity tilt should be less than a certain upper bound to avoid too much envelope variation and consequent beam losses. For space charge dominated beams, we found some favorable particle distributions in longitudinal phase space for which the maxim… more

Development of heavy ion induction linear accelerators as drivers for inertial confinement fusion

Description: There is a continuing study in the USA of the feasibility of an induction linac fusion driver, which would accelerate multiple heavy-ion beams through a sequence of pulsed transformers and amplify the beam current during acceleration. The driver cost could be $200/Joule or less and the cost of electricity in the range of .050-.055$/kWhr. As a next stage of development to assess the feasibility of this approach we propose an ''Induction Linac Systems Experiment''. This will test some of the tech… more

MBE-4: an induction linac experiment for heavy ion fusion

Description: The multiple-beam induction linac approach to a heavy ion fusion driver features continuous current amplification along the accelerator and a minimum of transverse beam manipulation from source to pellet. Current amplification and bunch length control require careful shaping of the accelerating voltages. This driver approach exploits developments in electron induction linac technology that have occurred within the last 15 years at LBL, LLNL and NBS. MBE-4 is a four beam induction linac that mod… more
