Abstract :
A pulsed linear accelerator assembly, RIIM (RADLAC II Module), composed of an injector plus a number of post accelerating gaps was built and successfully operated. The injector and the post accelerating gaps were powered by water strip pulse forming and transmission lines. A high-current, high-voltage, foilless diode injector was used and an annular 40-kA relativistic electron beam was produced and further accelerated through the post accelerating gaps. The final beam energy was close to the sum of injector and gap voltages and equal to 9 MeV.
