Simulation Studies of Particle Acceleration Powered by Modulated Intense Relativistic Electron Beams

Abstract

A time dependent, fully electromagnetic particle code is used to simulate transfer of energy from an annular modulated intense relativistic electron beam to a low current electron beam via a disk-loaded structure. It is shown that an intense beam may be used to drive such an accelerator at high transformer ratio (R 10) to obtain accelerating gradients in the about 100 Mv/m range, with power excess of 1 GW transferred from the primary to the secondary beam. Keywords: Particle accelerators; Compact accelerators; Particle simulations; Intense relativistic electron beams.
