The successful development of a new generation of high current, high voltage, linear induction accelerators relies on the solution of a number of beam transport problems, including radial oscillations, diocotron instabilities, transverse beam break-up (BBU), etc. Most of the instabilities appear to onset either at the injector region or at the accelerating gaps. Radial oscillations were first observed in Radlac I, while transverse beam breakup was first observed on the SLAC accelerator, and more recently on the ETA accelerator.
