Modeling of an Inductive Adder Kicker Pulser for Darht-II
L. Wang, G. J. Caporaso, E. G. Cook
An all solid-state kicker pulser for a high current induction accelerator (the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility DARHT-2) has been designed and fabricated. This kic…
Progress in Induction Linacs
George J. Caporaso
This presentation will be a broad survey of progress in induction technology over the past four years. Much work has been done on accelerators for hydrodynamic test radiography and…
Ion-Hose Instability in Long Pulse Induction Accelerators
George J. Caporaso, Jim. F. McCarrick
The ion-hose (or fast-ion) instability sets limits on the allowable vacuum in a long-pulse, high current accelerator. Beam-induced ionization of the background gas leads to the for…
The Effect of an Under-Dense Plasma Density Gradient on the Backstreaming Ion Mechanism
George J. Caporaso
The space charge limited emission of ions from a target in the focus of an intense relativistic electron beam is studied analytically for the case of a spatially varying target den…
