Physics issues in the design of a recirculating induction accelerator for heavy ion fusion

Creators

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (United States)

Description

Recirculating induction accelerators offer the potential of providing a driver for a heavy ion fusion reactor at a lower cost than a linear induction accelerator. The authors discuss some of the design issues facing a recirculator and they compare induction recirculators with induction linacs, rf-linac/storage rings, and synchrotron/storage rings. They briefly discuss two critical physics issues, in common with the rf-linac approach, emittance growth and beam interactions with the residual gas
