Critical system issues and modeling requirements: The problem of beam energy sweep in an electron linear induction accelerator
In this paper we discuss system issues and modeling requirements within the context of energy sweep in an electron linear induction accelerator. When needed, particular parameter values are taken from the ETA-II linear induction accelerator at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. For this paper, the most important parameter is energy sweep during a pulse. It is important to have low energy sweep to satisfy the FEL resonance condition and to limit the beam corkscrew motion. It is desired to achieve {Delta}E/E = {plus minus}1% for a 50-ns flattop whereas the present level of performance is {Delta}E/E = {plus minus}1% in 10 ns. To improve this situation we will identify a number of areas in which modeling could help increase understanding and improve our ability to design linear induction accelerators.
