Abstract :
We present results of theoretical design studies of a novel, compact two-beam electron accelerator.1 The primary electron beam is an annular, high-current (1–10 kA), moderate voltage (0.7–0.8 MV), long- pulse (0.5–1 µs) electron beam from the Michigan Electron Long Beam Accelerator, (MELBA). The design goal of the secondary electron beam is 4–10 Me V in a length of 1–2 meters. The primary electron beam is to be modulated in a manner similar to the relativistic klystron.2 The on-axis secondary e-beam is accelerated by the wake-field on-axis in an array of TM020 mode cavities. A new phase-focusing technique has been developed by means of radius modulation of the primary e-beam. Design parameters for a proof-of-principal experiment will be presented.
