Physics design and scaling of Elise

Induction-accelerator heavy-ion fusion: Status and beam physics issues

“…[7] Proposed for construction at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Elise is an outgrowth of the ILSE (Induction Linac Systems Experiments) concept, and represents the initial phase of that overall program. [8] Elise was designed to be a 5 MeV, multi-beam induction linac accelerating potassium (IS+, -39 AMU) ions produced by LBNL's new electrostatic-quadrupole (ESQ) injector, which is also described briefly in Subsection 5.…”

“…This electrostatic-focusing accelerator is known as "Elise." [7] In December of 1994, the Elise proposal received "Key Decision 1" approval, allowing engineering design to begin. However, funding for the US.…”
