Abstract

A one-dimensional nonlinear analytic theory of the filamentation instability of a high-current ion beam is formulated. The results of 2.5-dimensional numerical particle-in-cell simulations of acceleration and stability of an annular compensated ion beam (CIB) in a linear induction particle accelerator are presented. It is shown that additional transverse injection of electron beams in magnetically insulated gaps (cusps) improves the quality of the ion-beam distribution function and provides uniform beam acceleration along the accelerator. The CIB filamentation instability in both the presence and the absence of an external magnetic field is considered.

Linear induction accelerator for charge-neutralized ion beams in inertial confinement fusion

Journal Article Batishchev, O; Golota, V; Karas, V; ... - Plasma Physics Reports

Results are presented from experimental, analytical, and numerical studies of the physical processes that occur in a high-current ion induction accelerator (the ion linac IINDUS). The experiments were performed in a module of the IINDUS accelerator consisting of an injector of gaseous or metallic ions and two induction sections with magnetically insulated cusps in the accelerator gaps filled with plasma. The following ion beam parameters were found: 2-3 kA, 0.5 MeV, 0.5 {mu}s. The two most dangerous instabilities effecting beam quality were studied. These are the high-frequency beam-plasma instability and the filamentation instability. A nonlinear analytical theory of charge neutralizationmore »« less
High-current ion beam acceleration and stability in two accelerating cusps of induction linac

Conference Karas, V; Belova, N

Results of the 2.5-dimensional numerical simulation of the hollow high-current ion beam (HHCIB) dynamics in two presented. The previous study has shown that the good charge and current compensations of the ion beam by the specially injected in accelerating gap electron beam and the thermal electron injection into drift gap of the induction linac occur. With the aim of increasing the ion beam acceleration rate in the two cusps linac the authors have studied the optimal correlation between an accelerating electric field and an electron beam energy. It is shown also that the proposed method of the ion beam compensationmore »« less
2.5-Dimensional numerical simulation of a high-current ion linear induction accelerator

Journal Article Bogdan, O; Karas', V; Kornilov, E; ... - Plasma Physics Reports

Results are presented from numerical particle simulations of the transport and acceleration of a high-current tubular ion beam through one to five magnetically insulated accelerating gaps. The ion beam is neutralized by an accompanying electron beam. The possibility of transporting a high-current neutralized ion beam through five cusps is demonstrated. It is shown that the quality of the distribution function of a high-current ion beam at the exit from the accelerator can be substantially improved by optimizing the energy of the neutralizing electron beam. It is also shown that, by injecting additional high-current electron beams into the cusps, the acceleratedmore »« less

Inductive postacceleration of charge- and current-neutralized, intense pulsed ion beam

Journal Article Tanabe, T; Kanai, A; Takahashi, K; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

An induction accelerator system has been successfully operated to postaccelerate an intense pulsed ion beam that is highly space-charge and current neutralized. An annular ion beam (energy 90 keV, current 5.7 kA, pulse width 750 nsec) extracted from an applied-B/sub r/ magnetically insulated diode is injected into the induction accelerator, where a short pulse (210 kV, 50 nsec) is applied. Measurements of beam energy by a Thomson-parabola spectrometer before and after the postacceleration have confirmed the increase in beam energy of H/sup +/ up to approx.240 keV after being postaccelerated.

High current electron beam transport in linear induction accelerators

Conference Miller, R

In recent years a number of advanced linear induction accelerators (LIAs) have been developed which have the capability for accelerating very high electron beam currents, provided that satisfactory answers are obtained to number of beam transport and stability issues. In this review several important beam stability issues are identified pertaining to the propagation of very high current electron beams in and through the accelerating structures. In particular, criteria are developed for various equilibrium configurations, injector designs for producing the equilibria, general beam stability criteria, zero-order analyses of accelerating gap designs and considerations of various multiple-gap instabilities, including transverse beam break-upmore »« less
