Constraints on Transportable Ion Beam Power.

Abstract

Constraints on transportable high ion beam power are investigated in order to determine the number of modules required for a multi-modular light-ion ICF system. Electrostatic and electromagnetic stability constraints are examined as well as channel expansion and energy loss considerations. It is found that less than ten modules are required to drive a high gain pellet if large radius transport channels are used in conjunction with beam bunching and final focusing. (Author)
