Development of Superconducting Quadrupoles for Heavy Ion Fusion
Multi-beam heavy-ion accelerators are considered as promising drivers for inertial fusion energy. The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) will test driver-scale beam dynamics in a single transport channel. Single bore, NbTi superconducting quadrupoles are being developed for the HCX, taking into account their possible use as modules in a quadrupole arra...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Fusion Sources*
In Heavy-Fusion and in other applications, there is a need for high brightness sources with both high current and low emittance. The traditional design with a single monolithic source, while very successful, has significant constraints on it when going to higher currents. With the Child-Langmuir current-density limit, geometric aberration limits, and voltage breakdown limits, the area of the so...
متن کاملInduction Linac Drivers for Heavy Ion Fusion*
The Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator Research (HIFAR) program of the USDOE has for several years concentrated on developing linear induction accelerators as Inertial Fusion (IF) drivers. This accelerator technology is suitable for the IF application because it is readily capable of accelerating short, intense pulses of charged particles with good electrical efficiency. The principal technical diffi...
متن کاملHeavy Ion Beams for Inertial Fusion
The United States' program in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is described in this paper, with emphasis on the studies of the use of intense high energy beams of heavy ions to provide the power and energy nkeded to initiate thermonuclear burn. Preliminary calculations of the transport of intense ion beams in an electrostatic quadrupole focussing structure are discussed. In a companion paper i...
متن کاملOpportunities for Collaboration in Heavy Ion Fusion*
The objective of research in thermonuclear fusion is to find an environmentally attractive technology for the production of electrical energy that is both universally available and economically competitive. The method of containing the hot, dense plasma known as Inertially Confined Fusion Energy (IFE) uses small targets containing the deuterium and tritium isotopes of hydrogen which are implosi...
