Abstract :
The LINX (Linear INduction EXperiment) programme has been formulated to investigate the utility of inductively coupled cavities in a modular approach to high voltage electron beam production. In inductively coupled systems the output of n pulse forming lines, each charged to 1/n of the desired output voltage are added together and used to accelerate an electron beam. The advantages of this approach are a significant reduction in both overall and component size and configuration flexibility at the expense of increased complexity
