PULSELAC breeder applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5311948
The Sandia PULSELAC program is developing a high current, ion beam technology capable of reaching beam energies in the multi 100 MeV range. Using induction linac technology with neutralized beam transport, the goal is to efficiently generate 100 kA ion beams with both rep rate and variable species capability. The accelerating gaps are insulated against electron flow via a radial magnetic field. On each side of the gap, a cold dense plasma is created prior to the beam arrival in order to supply free electrons for electrostatic neutralization of the beam.
