Rapid Electron Beam Accelerators (REBA-TRONS).
Abstract
We have carried out an extensive numerical and analytical investigation of the beam dynamics in a rebatron accelerator. In this device acceleration occurs by a localized, high gradient electric field and beam confinement is achieved by a strong focusing torsatron magnetic field. In a rebatron, beam acceleration occurs in a few microseconds and limitations imposed by instabilities, field errors and radiation losses can be relaxed. Our studies indicate that both the bandwidth and the maximum electron beam current than can be confined by these devices is remarkably high.
