“…In pulsed accelerators (such as linear induction accelerators (Christofilos and Hester, 1964)) the beam passage time must be limited to the pulselength of the gap fields and the bean\ current must provide proper gap loading. Longitudinal phase dynamics have not been of great concern in existing linear induction accelerators (Leiss, 1979) which produce relativistic electron beams. Applications to inertial fusion have promp~ed interest in induction accelerators for non-relativistic ion beams (Faltens, et al, 1979: Humphries, et al, 198la).…”

“…The system can achieve high power through a straightforward extrapolation of the parameters of Pulselac C. Current density is within a factor of three of that already achieved and power conditioning could be performed at the 250 kV level, with MV gap potentials obtained by radial stacking (Leiss, 1979) Recent advances in the development of glass-like ferromagnetic material will make it possible to _produce isolation cores with flux swing four times that of ferrites (VanDevender, 1981).…”

The subject of this review is the field of intense pulsed ion beam generation and its potential application to fusion research. Considerable progress has been made in the past six years. Power levels of the order of 1000 MW/cm2 have been obtained for pulse-lengths from 10−8 to 10−6 s. Light-ion beams with currents approaching 1 MA and energies exceeding 1 MeV have been produced. The first half of the paper treats the physics and technology of beam generation. Following a unified discussion of the theory of ion injectors, experimental work since 1973 is reviewed. Diagnostic techniques appropriate to high-flux ion beams are summarized. The general problem of high-current ion beam transport in vacuum and through plasmas is also considered. The second part of the paper is devoted to applications to fusion research. Applications in both magnetic confinement and inertial confinement fusion are considered. Intense ion beams have a number of features which make them ideally suited as inertial fusion drivers. Discussions are given of the physics of inertial fusion targets, options for ion beam production, experiments on light-ion beam focusing, and high-current multi-stage accelerators.

“…The prospect of heavy-ion fusion, as well as cany other applications depending en intense, high energy pulsed teams, are closely related to progress in pulsed power technology. One of the more significant concepts in this regard is that of the linear induction accelerator (Faltens et al, 1977;Leiss, 1979).…”
