The High Current Transport Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is part of the US program to explore heavy-ion beam transport at a scale representative of the low-energy end of an induction linac driver for fusion energy production. The primary mission of this experiment is to investigate aperture fill factors acceptable for the transport of space-charge-dominated heavy-ion beams at ...
متن کاملManipulation of High-Current Pulses for Heavy-Ion Fusion
For efficient induction-driven heavy-ion fusion, the current profile along a pulse must be modified in a non-selfsimilar manner between the accelerator and the target. In the accelerator, the pulse should have a duration of at leaat !io ns in order to make efficient use of the induction cores, and the current should by nearly uniform along the pulse to minimize the aperture. In contrsst, the op...
متن کاملBeam Dynamics in Heavy Ion Fusion
for current multiplication, and it is there that the main challenges of beam dynamics are found. It is being studied in Europe, Russia, and Japan, and is discussed in ref. [1]. A standard design for heavy ion fusion drivers under study in the US. is an induction linac with electrostatic focusing at low energy and magnetic focusing at higher energy. The need to focus the intense beam to a fewmil...
متن کاملBeam Imaging Diagnostics for Heavy Ion Beam Fusion Experiments*
We are developing techniques for imaging beams in heavy-ion beam fusion experiments in the HIF-VNL in 2 to 4 transverse dimensions. The beams in current experiments range in energy from 50 keV to 2 MeV, with beam current densities from <10 to 200 mA/cm, and pulse lengths of 4 to 20 μs. The beam energy will range up to 10 MeV in near-future beam experiments. The imaging techniques, based on kapt...
متن کاملA Scaled Beam-combining Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
Transverse beam combining is a cost-saving option employed in many designs for induction linac heavy ion fusion drivers. The resultant transverse emittance increase, due predominantly to anharmonic space charge forces, must be kept minimal so that the beam remains focusable at the target. A prototype combining experiment has been built and preliminary results are presented. Four sources each pr...
