Abstract

A summary of the work performed to date is presented. The project brings together accelerator scientists in the US and Russia to develop high-current charged-particle accelerators for applications to explosives detection. These include an electrostatic tandem accelerator of novel design and a compact cyclotron and storage ring with energy compensation and electron cooling.
