A pulsed transmission line linear accelerator, RADLAC-II, composed of an injector plus six post-accelerating gaps was built and successfully operated. A 3 to 4 MV foilless diode injector was used and an annular 30 to 40 kA. Relativistic electron beam was produced and further accelerated through the post-accelerating gaps. The final beam energy was close to the sum of injector and gap voltages and equal to approx.16 MeV. The pulsed power drivers, the accelerator, and the beam transport system are described. Experimental results are presented and discussed.
