Poukey, J W

The 2-D code MAGIC and TRAJ have been used for extensive studies of diode, IFR channel, and accelerating gap problems in the recirculating linear accelerator (RLA). Typical beam parameters use 10--20 kA, 3--4 MeV. This report summarizes recent results from these simulations. We have also designed possible injectors for the proposed BOLT experiment, with typical beams at 100 A, 1.0--1.5 MeV. Finally, we discuss some preliminary diode runs of proposed 100 MV, 500 kA accelerator using the SMILE/HERMES method of adding voltages from many cavities across a single immersed diode gap. 8 refs.
