Long pulse electron beams

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States)

Description

Pulsed power accelerators used for intense relativistic electron beam applications have generally had pulse lengths of 10-100 ns. There are research areas where a pulse length of several 100's of nanoseconds is required or might be advantageous (e.g. long distance propagation, microwave generation, free electron lasers). In the last 4 years several long pulse accelerators have come on line. In this report the emphasis is on measurement of the parameters of a long-pulse beams. The Troll accelerator produces the beam, and a conditioning cell is used to adjust beam parameters. This system has typically been operated with the following output parameters 2.5 MV, 1-2 kA, 0.5-1 μs
