Multi-Ampere Heavy Ion Injector for Linear Induction Accelerators Using Periodic Electrostatic Focusing

摘要

Two configurations for ion source and drift-tube-linac combinations that could provide the energy and intensity of accelerated ions needed for the HIF applications are described. The focusing for the systems is provided by a periodic structure of rectangular electrostatic lenses. Scaling rules and extensions of the ideas will be briefly described. Example systems are described that could provide 150 mu C of uranium or cesium ions at 12 MeV. (ERA citation 04:024359)
