Scaling of induction-cell transverse impedance: effect on accelerator design
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The strength of the dangerous beam breakup (BBU) instability in linear induction accelerators (LIAs) is characterized by the transverse coupling impedance Z⊥. This note addresses the dimensional scaling of Z⊥, which is important when comparing new LIA designs to existing accelerators with known i BBU growth. Moreover, it is shown that the scaling of Z⊥ with the accelerating gap size relates BBU growth directly to high-voltage engineering considerations. It is proposed to firmly establish this scaling though a series of AMOS calculations.
