IREB Transport and Risetime Compression Using Magnetic Field Gradients

Abstract

An intense relativistic electron beam from the Naval Surface Weapons Center's Casino simulator has been transported 1.85 meters utilizing gradient-B drift in an applied magnetic field gradient produced by a straight wire. Transport efficiencies of 85-90% and beam risetime compression of up to a factor of two have been achieved routinely.
