“…Short-pulse accelerators at Physics International, Science Research Laboratories and Sandia National Laboratories, are now beginning to deliver beams with average powers of from 10 kW to 120 kW with 350 kW continuous expected within the next year. The Physics International Compact Linear Induction Accelerator (CLIA), shown in Figure 2 uses thyratrons in the primary pulse compression stage and has ten stages of linear induction voltage addition on a magnetically insulated stalk to achieve a 50 ns output pulse with a beam accelerating potential of 750 kV at average power levels of 120 kW for periods of five seconds (16). The Science Research Laboratories SNOMAD IV accelerator, shown in Figure 3, uses semiconductor switches in the primary pulse compression module which can be configured as a beam injector, with dispenser cathode, or as a series of LIA beam acceleration stages with a 1 mm to 6 mm diameter, 500 A, ulectron beam (17).…”

The technology base formed by the development of high peak power simulators, laser drivers, free electron lasers (FEL's), and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) drivers from the early 60's through the late 80's is being extended to high average power short-pulse machines with the capabilities of performing new roles in environmental cleanup applications and in supporting new types of industrial manufacturing processes. Some of these processes will require very high average beam power levels of hundreds of kilowatts to perhaps megawatts. In this paper we briefly discuss new technology capabilities and then concentrate on specific application areas that may benefit from the high specific energies and high average powers attainable with short-pulse machines. 011O5 1993 DtSTBIBU'I'ION OF THIS L._,..:I C,UME:NT IS UNLIMIFED OSTI ¢ ! such as the use of ethylene oxide or methyl bromide, which may, in turn, make accelerator treatment methods more appealing.

“…Although RHEPP I1 is the only demonstration of a multi-kilojoule system capable of meeting the lifetime requirements, other noteworthy magnetic systems have supported sub-kilojoule applications [7,8,9]. Options exist outside of a magnetic switching solution, however, long lifetime performance or cost effective scaling remains to be demonstrated.…”

Multi-kilojoule repetitive pulsed power technology moved from a laboratory environment into its first commercial application in 1997 as a driver for ion beam surface treatment. Sandia's RHEPP 11, a repetitive 2.5 kJ/pulse electron beam accelerator, has supported the development of radiation treatment processes for polymers and elastomers, food products, and high doserate effects testing for defense programs since early 1996. Dos Lineas, an all solid-state testbed, has demonstrated synchronization techniques for parallel magnetic modulator systems and is continuing the development of design standards for long lifetime magnetic switches and voltage adders at a shot rate capability that exceeds 5x106 pulses per day. This paper will describe progress in multi-kilojoule class repetitive pulsed power technology development, limitations of magnetic switching technology for accelerator and modulator applications, and future research and development directions.weapons, and fusion energy sources will require cost effective RHEPP class systems. Applications such as compact portable pulsed power sources, large-scale KrF laser drivers for inertial confinement fusion, and burstmode pulsed power systems for advanced hydrodynamic radiography will continue to drive the development of RHEPP technology. Although magnetic switching has matured to the point of being a credible solution for many applications, new concepts will be required in the future to reduce the size, weight, and cost of RHEPP class systems. PROGRESS IN MAGNETIC SYSTEMS A. Repetitive Pulsed Accelerator TechnologyThe RHEPP I1 accelerator system, shown in Fig. 1, has demonstrated the capabilities of magnetic switching and repetitive Linear Induction Voltage Adders (LIVA's) to be a reliable technology for producing multi-kilojoule pulsed electron beams at high average power levels.
