Effect of accelerating gap geometry on the beam breakup instability in linear induction accelerators

Journal Article Miller, R B ; Marder, B M ; Coleman, P D ; ... - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

The electron beam in a linear induction accelerator is generally susceptible to growth of the transverse beam breakup instability. In this paper we analyze a new technique for reducing the transverse coupling between the beam and the accelerating cavities, thereby reducing beam breakup growth. The basic idea is that the most worrisome cavity modes can be cutoff by a short section of coaxial transmission line inserted between the cavity structure and the accelerating gap region. We have used the three-dimensional simulation code S-smcapsO-smcapsS-smcaps to analyze this problem. In brief, we find that the technique works, provided that the lowest TEmore »« less

Beam breakup instabilities in high current electron beam racetrack induction accelerators

Technical Report Godfrey, B B ; Hughes, T P

Beam breakup and negative mass instability growth rates for a 1 kA, 40 MeV electron beam racetrack induction accelerator are computed. The device is taken to have four accleration gaps, each with 0.2 MeV applied voltage and 15 ohm transverse impedence; the guide field is 2 kg. We find that the total amplification of the beam breakup mode is limited to five e-findings provided that the cavity mode quality factor Q is 6. Thus, the negative mass instability, which grows several times faster, is the dominant consideration. However, we also find that they energy range over which the negative massmore »« less
Beam breakup and image displacement instabilities in high current electron beam racetrack induction accelerators. Interim report

Technical Report Godfrey, B B ; Hughes, T P

Beam breakup and image displacement instability growth rates for a 1 kA, 40 MeV electron beam racetrack induction accelerator are computed, The hypothetical device is taken to have four acceleration gaps, each with 0.2 MeV applied voltage and 15 ohm transverse impedance; the guide field is 2 kg. We find that the total amplification of the beam breakup mode is limited to 3.6 provided the cavity mode quality factor Q is 6. Image displacement mode growth is negligible. Thus, the negative mass instability, which grows about three times faster than the beam breakup instability for these parameters, is the dominantmore »« less
