A design procedure for acceleration and bunching in an ion induction linac

The paper concerns a design procedure for acceleration and bunching in an ion induction linac using i) a current self-replicating scheme, and ii) a line charge density self-replicating scheme. The design is tested with a computer code for its longitudinal dynamics, including space charge effects, deviations from ideal accelerating voltage waveforms, and module impedances. These results are used to make adjustments to the design. An application of the procedure to the planned High-Temperature experiment is described. (author)
