OSTI ID:7319348
A 600 kV, 5 to 14 kJ, 0.5 to 1.5 ..mu..s electron beam accelerator was developed for gas laser excitation studies. The 1.2 MV Marx generator charges a 2 nF, solid dielectric peaking capacitor to 2.3 MV in 0.6 ..mu..s. The pulse duration is controlled by a crowbar switch. Cathode geometries were varied to generate a uniform current density beam and maximize the beam energy density that could be passed through thin foils. A 7.6 cm diameter cylindrical beam is guided through the laser chamber by a 1 to 3 kG axial magnetic field. The design and development of the accelerator, including experimental results of diode studies, are discussed.
