Abstract :
Recirculating heavy-ion induction accelerators are being investigated as possible drivers for heavy ion fusion. Part of this investigation included the generation of conceptual design for a recirculator system. The authors describe the overall engineering conceptual design of this recirculator, including discussions of the dipole magnet system, the superconducting quadrupole system, and the beam acceleration system. Major engineering issues, evaluation of feasibility, and cost tradeoffs of the complete recirculator system are presented and discussed.<>
