Abstract :
The RTA is a prototype accelerator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) which will be used to evaluate the feasibility of the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator (RK-TBA) concept as an RF power source for the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The 1 MeV RTA injector is currently delivering a 600 A, 250 ns FWHM electron beam and there are plans to add accelerator cells in FY02. A proposed design of the accelerator cells and pulsed power system is presented.
