Results from the recirculator project at LLNL

The Heavy Ion Fusion Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has for several years been developing the worldʹs first circular ion induction accelerator designed for space-charge-dominated beams. Experiments on one quarter of the ring have been completed. The accelerator extended 10 half-lattice periods (HLP) with induction cores for acceleration placed on every other HLP. A network of Capacitive Beam Probes (C-probes) was also enabled for beam position monitoring throughout the bend section. These C-probes have been instrumental in steering experiments, implementation of the acceleration stages and the dipole pulser, and the first attempts at coordinated bending and acceleration. Data from these experiments and emittance measurements will be presented.
