Abstract
An account will be given of the operational characteristics of the first module of a proton induction linac. The system, which has a design output of 1.0 MeV. at 1000 A. in a 50 nsec. pulse, has a 350 keV. electrostatic accelerator for proton beam generation, followed by a 700 keV. inductively driven accelerator. The induction gap is magnetically insulated. We describe the design and performance of the accelerator and show measurements of the beam characteristics. Techniques for proton beam transport, and preliminary measurements of the beam propagation, will also be presented.
