Abstract

A sequentially pulsed traveling wave compact accelerator having two or more pulse forming lines each with a switch for producing a short acceleration pulse along a short length of a beam tube, and a trigger mechanism for sequentially triggering the switches so that a traveling axial electric field is produced along the beam tube in synchronism with an axially traversing pulsed beam of charged particles to serially impart energy to the particle beam.

Mechanisms of amplification of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses in gyrotron traveling wave tube with helically corrugated waveguide

Journal Article Ginzburg, N. S., E-mail: ginzburg@appl.sci-nnov.ru ; Zaslavsky, V. Yu. ; Nizhny Novgorod State University, 23 Gagarin Ave., 603950 Nizhny Novgorod ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A time-domain self consistent theory of a gyrotron traveling wave tube with a helically corrugated operating waveguide has been developed. Based on this model, the process of short pulse amplification was studied in regimes of grazing and intersection of the dispersion curves of the electromagnetic wave and the electron beam. In the first case, the possibility of amplification without pulse form distortion was demonstrated for the pulse spectrum width of the order of the gain bandwidth. In the second case, when the electrons' axial velocity was smaller than the wave's group velocity, it was shown that the slippage of themore »« less

Overview of The Pulse Line Ion Accelerator

Conference Briggs, R J ; Bieniosek, F M ; Coleman, J E ; ...

An overview of the Pulse Line Ion Accelerator (PLIA) concept and its development is presented. In the PLIA concept a pulse power driver applied to one end of a helical pulse line creates a traveling wave pulse that accelerates and axially confines a heavy ion beam pulse The motivation for its development at the IFE-VNL is the acceleration of intense, short pulse, heavy ion beams to regimes of interest for studies of High Energy Density Physics and Warm Dense Matter. Acceleration scenarios with constant parameter helical lines are described which result in output energies of a single stage much largermore »« less

Final Report on "Development and Testing of Advanced Accelerator Structures and Technologies at 11.424 GHz"

Technical Report Gold, Steven H.

This is the final report on the research program ?Development and Testing of Advanced Accelerator Structures and Technologies at 11.424 GHz,? which was carried out by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) under Interagency Agreement DE?AI02?01ER41170 with the Department of Energy. The period covered by this report is 15 July 2010 ? 14 July 2013. The program included two principal tasks. Task 1 involved a study of the key physics issues related to the use of high gradient dielectric-loaded accelerating (DLA) structures in rf linear accelerators and was carried out in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Euclid Techlabs LLC.more »« less

The Pulse Line Ion Accelerator Concept

Journal Article Briggs, Richard J - Physics Review of Special Topics, Accelerators and Beams,

The Pulse Line Ion Accelerator concept was motivated by the desire for an inexpensive way to accelerate intense short pulse heavy ion beams to regimes of interest for studies of High Energy Density Physics and Warm Dense Matter. A pulse power driver applied at one end of a helical pulse line creates a traveling wave pulse that accelerates and axially confines the heavy ion beam pulse. Acceleration scenarios with constant parameter helical lines are described which result in output energies of a single stage much larger than the several hundred kilovolt peak voltages on the line, with a goal ofmore »« less

Investigation of a radial transmission line transformer for high-gradient particle accelerators

Journal Article Petr, R A ; Nunnally, W C ; Smith, Jr, C V ; ... - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

This paper discusses the use of a photoconductively switched radial transmission line transformer as a high-gradient particle accelerator power system. In particular, a 1.8-m-radius radial line with a one-way transit time of 10 ns was fabricated and the voltage attenuation/amplification of a radially traveling wave measured. These results are compared with numerical solutions to the radial-wave equations using the method of characteristics. The line was operated as a step-down transformer by driving the inner radius with a pulse generator and measuring open circuit voltage at its outer radius. The voltage attenuation of the transformer agrees fairly well with an approximatemore »« less
