Self-Magnetically Insulated Transmission Line (MITL) System Design for the 20-Stage Hermes-III Accelerator

Abstract

The Hermes-III MITL is a coaxial waveguide structure that is divided into two functional regions: 1) a 12.8-m long "voltage adder" section, and 2) a 4.6-m long "isolator/extension" section. The adder MITL provides the means for the series "addition" of the input voltages from the individual cavity feeds. The isolator/extension MITL provides efficient power transport and isolation from the output of the adder section to a bremsstrahlung diode. This paper describes the Hermes-III MITL and presents the electrical design methodology, models, and results obtained for optimum system operation.
