Intense Pulsed Ion Beams: Their Generation and Applications.

Abstract

The fundamentals of intense pulsed ion beam generation are reviewed. The basic processes operating in reflexing electron sources, pinched electron diodes, and magnetically insulated diodes are described. Some selected applications are surveyed; included are gas laser excitation, inertial confinement fusion, field reversed ion rings, and ion acceleration by magnetic compression. (Author)
