PBFA II is the first pulsed power accelerator designed and built specifically to produce light ions for driving targets in Sandia National Laboratories inertial confinement fusion program. Recent progress in ion beam generation and focusing has been excellent. Record ion beam intensities have been obtained. Development of an extensive array of diagnostics and advances in the theory of ion diodes have had a major impact on this progress. A summary of recent progress and the present status of the PBFA-II light ion beam fusion program is given. 40 refs., 4 figs.
