122. Multiple beam induction linacs

Peter Seidl (LBNL)

14/08/2012, 08:30

Invited talk

Peter Seidl (LBNL) , J.J. Barnard (LLNL), A. Faltens (LBNL), A. Friedman (LLNL), W. Sharp (LLNL), W. Waldron (LBNL) For heavy-ion driven inertial fusion energy, induction accelerators are appealing because of their higher efficiency and of the demonstrated capability to accelerate high beam current (10 kA in some applications). Accomplishments and challenges are summarized. HIF R&D has...

125. Beam Dynamics for Induction Accelerators

Edward Lee

14/08/2012, 08:55

Invited talk

Edward P. Lee Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, 94720, USA An induction linac uses pulsed power that is applied directly, without any intervening resonant cavities, to accelerate a charged particle pulse. Relative to an rf linac this approach allows for a large beam pipe aperture capable of transporting a large current with a long pulse duration. The mean...

Box 451, Princeton, New Jersey, 08543, USA The voltage which can be sustained across any given distance in a vacuum without engendering electrical breakdown forms the principle constraint upon the performance...

76. The Single Pass RF Driver

Dr Robert Burke (Fusion Power Corporation)

14/08/2012, 11:20

Invited talk

Robert Burke Fusion Power Corporation Santa Cruz, CA 95060 In the closing summary of the 4th international HIF workshop in 1979, Burton Richter declared the RF driver fatally flawed because of the “black cloud” problem in storage rings. The Single Pass RF Driver (SPRFD) concept arose in part from the need to dispel that cloud. Eliminating storage rings from the driver concept does that,...
