High Voltage, High Current, Long Pulse Electron Beam Injector for Darht
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 key issues in the design are the control of beam quality to meet the DARHT 2nd axis final focus requirements, to minimize high-voltage breakdown risks, and to fit the injector structure within the available space. We will present the injector conceptual design as well as beam dynamics simulations in the diode and in the injector-main-accelerator interface.

We are constructing a 1.2 kA, 1 MeV, electron induction injector as part of the RTA program, a collaborative effort between LLNL and LBNL to develop relativistic klystrons for Two-Beam Accelerator applications. The RTA injector will also be used in the development of a high-gradient, low-emittance, electron source and beam diagnostics for the second axis of the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynam...
متن کاملCircuit Modeling and Component Trimming to Achieve Performance Requirements for the Darht Prototype Injector
To produce an acceptable electron beam, the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility accelerators require high-voltage pulses that are flat to within ±1% for 65±5 ns. Achieving this accuracy and pulse duration in operation on the Integrated Test stand (a fullscale prototype of the DARHT 4-Mev injector and first eight linear induction accelerator cells) has required fine-tuning ...

The second phase accelerator for the Dual Axis Hydrodynamic Test facility (DARHT) is designed to provide an electron beam pulse that is 2μs long, 2kA, and 20 MeV in particle energy. The injector provides 3.2 MeV so that the linac need only provide 16.8 MeV. The linac is made with two types of induction accelerator cells. The first block of 8 cells have a 14 in. beam pipe compared to 10 in. in t...

The DARHT-2 machine under construction at Los Alamos National Laboratory requires a long-pulse (2.5 sec) 2– 4 kA, 3.5 MV, low-emittance electron beam source. The injector is being designed at LBNL and consists of a largearea thermionic cathode mounted atop a vertical column. The 90 bend between the horizontally emitted beam and the column produces dipole and higher-pole fields which must be cor...
