We present results from initial experiments with a high impedance applied-B extraction diode on the SABRE ten stage linear induction accelerator (6 MV, 300 kA). We have demonstrated efficient coupling of power from the accelerator through an extended MTTL (Magnetically Insulated Transmission Line) into a high intensity ion beam. Both MITL electron flow in the diode region and ion diode behavior, i...Show More

Initial experiments to investigate coupling of the four-stage HELIA linear-induction accelerator to a uniformly insulated applied-B ion diode in planar extraction geometry are reported. Results describing the efficient operation of an applied-B extraction ion diode coupled to the HELIA linear induction accelerator operated in positive polarity are reported. Operation of a close-coupled, undermatch...Show More

1990 8th International Conference on High-Power Particle Beams
Year: 1990 | Conference Paper |
The U.S. Department of Energy has initiated planning for a Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF) as part of the national Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program. This next major ICF facility is expected to produce a 1000-megajoule thermonuclear yield with greater than 10-megajoules of input energy to the target. As part of this initiative, we have defined a light-ion-beam LMF concept and are pur...Show More

A summary of recent progress and the present status of the PBFA-II (Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II) light-ion beam fusion program is given. An analytic theory of applied-B ion diodes has been developed that correctly predicts the diode operating points at peak power, and there is agreement between simulations and experiment for the ion beam transport to the diode axis. The anode plasma has be...

An Investigation of Lithium Ion Sources on an Applied-B Extraction Diode on a PI-110A Accelerator
As part of the effort to develop an electrohydrodynamically (EHD) driven lithium ion source for the Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II (PBFA II) at Sandia National Laboratories, we have begun experiments with liquid lithium and liquid lithium nitrate-filled anodes on the PI-110A accelerator. Several methods have been used to provide a lithium or lithium-bearing vertical anode surface that can be ...Show More
