Pulse operation of the FEI EG-1 electrostatic accelerator

The pulse injector of the FEI EhG-1 accelerator is described. The injector prowides the accelerator operation in nanosecond and microsecond modes. The results of accelerator performance during 1978-79 years are given. The values of pulse current are: 0.3-0.5 μA at pulse duration of 15-25nc in the mode of simple chopping mode, and 1.5-2.5 μA at pulse duration of 2-2.5 nc in the modes of chopping and bunding the microsecond mode pulse duration is 0.1-1 μc pulse frequency recurrence being 1.5-30 kHz, pulse current 0.3-0.5 μA. It is noted that both modes of the EhG-1 accelerator pulse operation-nanosecond with bunching and without it and microsecond-were used to conduct experiments on absolute measurement of cross sections of radiation capture of fast neutrons in Uranium-238, on measurement of neutron total cross sections and in a number of other experiments
