High Current Linear Accelerators.

Abstract

In this report, we present the results of an experimental investigation of the use of a ferrite loaded cavity for electron beam energy recovery and auto-acceleration. The efficiency in the energy recovery mode is shown to be limited by the formation of virtual cathodes downstream of the energy recovery gap. This limit also is fundamental to autoaccelerataor applications. The autoacceleration efficiency is further reduced by a degradation in the beam pulse risetime as a result of the poor high-frequency characteristics of the ferrite cores used. (Author)
