Collective Ion Acceleration with Linear Intense Relativistic Electron Beams

  • Chapter
An Introduction to the Physics of Intense Charged Particle Beams

  • 376 Accesses

Abstract

Because of technological limitations on rf power sources and dielectric breakdown strength, the accelerating fields in conventional particle accelerators are generally restricted to 104−105 V/cm. As a result, acceleration concepts which employ the very large self-fields of an intense relativistic electron beam have received considerable attention in recent years. In these new schemes, the accelerating fields are not imposed externally, but arise from the collective action of a larger number of particles (electrons) on a smaller number of particles (positive ions). Since the accelerating fields are not limited by electrical breakdown, collective methods may eventually lead to the compact, economical acceleration of intense currents of light or heavy ions to hundreds of MeV per nucleon. Potential areas of application of such beams include controlled thermonuclear research, electronuclear breeding, basic nuclear physics, material studies, and radiation therapy.
