Energy Scaling Laws for the Racetrack Induction Accelerator.

Abstract

A high-current, cyclic electron accelerator, capable of accelerating several kiloamperes of electron current is described. The accelerating elements of the device are linear induction modules which match well to high-current operation. A racetrack configuration is utilized to return the electrons to the induction modules, thereby providing electron acceleration to an energy given by the gap voltage multiplied by the number of electron transits during the total pulse duration of the induction modules.
