Collective ion acceleration in a converging waveguide

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7305191
A drift tube ion beam device which accelerates the ions to relativistic velocities is described. The ions are entrapped in an electron beam which is density-modulated, the beam being accelerated as a whole by propagation thru a converging drift tube. After the particles attain relativistic velocities, the electrons are bent out of the beam axis, leaving only the heavier ions to proceed along the drift-tube axis.
