Linear Induction Accelerator Approach for Advanced Radiography
Recent advances in induction accelerator technology make it possible to envision a single accelerator that can serve as an intense, precision multiple pulse x-ray source for advanced radiography. Through the use of solid-state modulator technology repetition rates on the order of 1 MHz can be achieved with beam pulse lengths ranging from 200 ns to 2 μsecs. By using fast kickers, these pulses ma...
متن کاملThe Mechanical Design for the Darht-ii Downstream Beam Transport Line*
This paper describes the mechanical design of the downstream beam transport line for the second axis of the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT II) Facility. The DARHT-II project is a collaboration between LANL, LBNL and LLNL. DARHT II is a 20-MeV, 2000-Amperes, 2-μsec linear induction accelerator designed to generate short bursts of x-rays for the purpose of radiographing dense obj...
متن کاملIon-hose Instability in a Long-pulse Accelerator
The ion-hose instability is a transverse electrostatic instability which occurs on electron beams in the presence of a low-density ion channel. In the DARHT-2 accelerator, the 2 kA, 2 microsecond beam pulse produces an ion channel through impact ionization of the residual background gas ( 1:5 10 7 torr average). A calculation of the linear growth by R. J. Briggs indicated that the instability c...
متن کاملHigh Voltage, High Current, Long Pulse Electron Beam Injector for Darht
An injector design for the long pulse option for the second axis of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT) has been studied. This design is based on the LBNL Heavy Ion Fusion Injector technology. The proposed injector consists of a single gap diode extracting electrons from a thermionic source and powered through a high voltage ceramic insulator column by a Marx generator. The ke...
متن کاملRECONSTRUCTIOti OF’ INITIAL BEAM CONDITIONS AT THE EXIT OF THE DARHT II ACCELERATOR*
We consider a technique to determine the initial beam conditions of the DARHT II accelerator by measuring the beam size under three different magnetic transport settings. This may be time gated to resolve the parameters as a function of time within the 2000 nsec pulse. This technique leads to three equations in three unknowns with solution giving the accelerator exit beam radius, tilt, and emit...
