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…

Faraday Cup Measurements of Ions Backstreaming into a Electron Beam Impinging on a Plasma Plume*
G. Guethlein, T. Houck, J. McCarrick +1
The next generation of radiographic machines based on induction accelerators is expected to generate multiple, small diameter x-ray spots of high intensity. Experiments to study th…

Physics Design of the ETA-II/Snowtron Double Pulse Target Experiment
Yu-Jiuan Chen, Darwin D. -M. Ho, James F. Mccarrick +4
We have modified the single pulse target experimental facility[ ] on the Experimental Test Accelerator II (ETA-II) to perform the double pulse target experiments to validate the DA…
