THE THEORY AND OPERATION OF A FIVE-FOOT-DIAMETER BETATRON WITH EXTERNAL INJECTION

Abstract

A five-foot-diameter experimental betatron with a beam-containing tube approximately one inch in cross-sectional diameter and having alternating air-core quadrupole focusing and an external injection system has been built and successfully tested. The behavior of the injected electrons was in reasonable agreement with theory.
