Ion-Hose Instability in Long Pulse Induction Accelerators*
نویسنده
چکیده
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 formation of an ion channel which couples to the transverse motion of the beam. The instability is studied analytically and numerically for several ion frequency distributions. The effects of beam envelope oscillations on the growth of the instability will be discussed. The saturated non-linear growth of the instability is derived analytically and numerically for two different ion frequency distributions.

Ion-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...
