Conceptual design of compact heavy-ion inertial fusion driver with an r.f. LINAC with high acceleration rate

The interdigital-H-type (IH) linear accelerator (LINAC) is well known for its high shunt impedance at low and medium particle velocities. Therefore, it can be used to operate efficiently with a high acceleration gradient. The IH LINAC cavity is able to generate 10 MV m −1 (average acceleration gradi...

Summary:The interdigital-H-type (IH) linear accelerator (LINAC) is well known for its high shunt impedance at low and medium particle velocities. Therefore, it can be used to operate efficiently with a high acceleration gradient. The IH LINAC cavity is able to generate 10 MV m −1 (average acceleration gradient) with focusing of the particles by a superconducting solenoid and quadrupole. The LINAC can accelerate particles with a charge to mass ratio ( q/ A) greater than 1/250 from 0.3 MeV a.m.u. −. In a compact heavy-ion inertial fusion driver design, the total effective length of the IH LINAC cavities is about 1250 m.
