Recirculating linear accelerator (RLA) injector and accelerating cavity improvements
Concerns about low-{gamma} relativistic electron beams (REB) being initially injected into the RLA and about energy spreads due to degradation of the accelerating cavity repeating pulse shapes have resulted in our designing a new 4-MV, 20-kA injector, improving the 24-switch trigger system for the ET-2 cavity, and identifying critical factors in the cavity design that affect the pulse shape. We summarize the Metglas inductively isolated, stacked cavity injector design and report on the improvements (completed and proposed) for the ET-2 cavity pulsed power. 7 refs., 6 figs.
