Abstract :
A new induction accelerator “ETIGO-III” has been developed to generate high current relativistic electron beam for applications in materials science, high-power microwave generation and intense X-ray generation. Using the Marx generator of “ETIGO-I”, we have produced the initial pulse of 670 kV (60 ns pulse width). Through the four transmission lines, the pulse was fed to four induction cells. Three cores are installed inside each cell. The output voltage of 2 MV was obtained by the initial cell. Specifically, it is possible to obtain the final output parameters of 8 MeV, 5 kA 60 ns. Various diagnostics have been carried out on the characteristics of the electron beam generated by “ETIGO-III”
