Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 9, 070402 (2006) [5 pages]Energy amplification and beam bunching in a pulse line ion accelerator
In a first beam dynamics validation experiment for a new Pulse Line Ion Acceleration (PLIA) concept, the predicted energy amplification and beam bunching were experimentally observed. Beam energy modulation of -80 to +150 keV was measured using a PLIA input voltage waveform of -21 to +12 kV. Ion pulses accelerated by 150 keV, and bunching by a factor of 4 were simultaneously achieved. The measured longitudinal phase space and current waveform of the accelerated beam are in good agreement with 3D particle-in-cell simulations.
