Energy flow and high repetition rate issues for the ETA II magnetic modulator system

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

Description

ETA II is a linear induction electron beam accelerator designed to operate at high repetition rates (< 5 kHz) and high average powers (< 3 MW). The 2 kA electron beam is accelerated with 70 ns, 100 kV pulses generated by a system of magnetic modulators. There are a number of critical issues associated with high repetition rate and high average power operation of the magnetic modulators in a linear induction accelerator power conditioning system. A discussion of the initial investigation into the high repetition reset issues is also presented
