Radial transmission line linear accelerators

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5511142
Very-high-current linear accelerators are discussed which can be built with either radial or coaxial filled with high dielectric strength liquids. These cavities function as pulse-forming transmission lines and as a means to supply energy to the beam. Cavity design considerations are discussed, particularly with respect to radial cavities and externally fed cavities. RADLAC I and LIU-10, two high-current electron beam accelerators operating with radial transmission, are described. Also described is RADLAC II, a 16 MV, 50 kA accelerator, which has been implemented using water dielectric strip transmission lines to supply energy to the beam. (LEW)
