Title: High-current, high-brightness, and high-duty factor ion injectors. AIP conference proceedings No. 139

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5815312

One of the important frontier areas in accelerator physics today is the search for ever better ways of simultaneously achieving higher beam currents with very low emittance, and preserving both properties throughout the acceleration process. This workshop focused on the basic and applied physics encountered with intense ion beams in the low velocity end of a linac. a primary objective of this workshop was to review in depth the different approaches to intense ion injectors, and the phenomena associated with high-current and high-brightness beams. A second objective was to provide a forum for discussion for those people active in this specialized field, and thereby stimulate suggestions and recommendations regarding future work in these areas. The subject material was grouped under five main headings: diagnostics, theory (including simulation), high-current beam transport, cw radio frequency quadrupole accelerators, and multiple beams (including funneling). Following introductory reviews by experts in each of these areas, participants divided themselves among five corresponding working groups. The review papers and the working group summaries and conclusions form the main body of this Proceedings. In addition, four contributed reports on new work presented at the workshop are also included. The workshop papers were cataloged separately.
