Preliminary Design Parameters for the Auto-Resonant Acceleration of Protons Utilizing the FX-25or FX-100Electron Beam Sources.

摘要

Auto-resonant acceleration is a collective acceleration scheme using the lower branch of the electron cyclotron eigenmode of a relativistic electron beam propagating along a magnetic guide field in a conducting cylinder to trap and accelerate ions. The theory of Auto-resonant acceleration is discussed and constraints imposed upon the e-beam, guide field, geometry of the conducting cylinder, and resulting ion beam are derived. These are then used to develop preliminary design criteria for Auto-resonant accelerators using the FX-25 and FX-100 as electron beam sources.
