Description
The Hermes-III accelerator has twenty 1-MV, inductively isolated cavities connected in series through a high voltage, magnetically insulated transmission line (MITL) to produce a 20-MV, 800-kA pulse that drives a bremsstrahlung diode. Each cavity is 4 m in diameter and weighs nearly 8000 kg when filled with its insulating transformer oil. Cores of pre- annealed Metglas 2605CO are used to inductively isolate the cavities. Azimuthal transmission lines mix inputs from four pulse-forming lines; this reduces the effect of pulse-forming line jitter on the cavity output pulse. A single, prototype cavity has been tested on the system test facility (STF). The test results and comparisons with design specifications and circuit simulations are presented
