Abstract:The High Current Experiment (HCX) at LBNL is a driver scale single beam injector that provides a 1 MeV K+ ion beam current of 0.18 A for 5 µs. It transports high-current beams with large fill factor (ratio of the maximum beam envelope radius to the beam pipe radius) and low emittance growth that are required to keep the cost of the power plant competitive and to satisfy the target requirements of focusing ion beams to high-power density. Beam interaction with the background gas and walls desorbs electrons that… Show more
