Low emittance immersed and non-immersed foilless diodes for high current electron linacs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6474166

A low emittance immersed foilless diode injector was designed and built for the upgraded RADLAC-II accelerator. The design is for a 5-MV, 40-kA annular beam with a 9-mm outer radius. A conical cathode field shaper eliminates the previously observed large cathode shank losses. The non-immersed foilless diode approach was utilized in the design of the Sandia recirculating linear accelerator (RLA) injector. A low energy design (/approximately/1.7 MV) and high energy (4 MV) design were carried out in conjunction with a solenoidal vacuum beam transport and injection system. 9 refs., 12 figs.
