Design of the DARHT-II Downstream Beamline
This paper describes the design of the downstream beam transport line for the second axis of the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT-II) Facility. The DARHT-II project is a collaboration between LANL, LBNL and LLNL. DARHT II is a 18.4-MeV, 2000-Amperes, 2-{micro}sec linear induction accelerator designed to generate short bursts of x-rays for the purpose of radiographing dense objects. The downstream beam transport line is approximately 22-meter long region extending from the end of the accelerator to the bremsstrahlung target. The principal element of the beam transport section is the fast deflector, or kicker system, used to generate four micropulses from the primary accelerator beam. Within this proposed transport line there are also several conventional solenoid, quadrupole and dipole magnets which transport and focus the beam to the target and to the beam dumps.
