High Intensity Accelerators for Ion Beam Fusion

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA638157 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Pulselac is a compact linear inductive accelerator which uses collective methods of transport to accelerate high power ion beams for inertial fusion applications. A variety of techniques are used to make optimal use of the beams to amplify power. Power multiplication factors focused beam power densityinput pulsed power density greater than 105 may be achieved. The status of Pulselac research and its application to inertial fusion are summarized.
