Magnetically insulated linac driven by a multistage Marx generator

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

It is shown that a magnetically insulated linear accelerator driven by a multistage Marx generator can accelerate over short distances intense beams of heavy ions to multi-GeV energies. The attainable beam energies are sufficient for the ignition of thermonuclear microexplosions. The proposed accelerator could also ideally serve as a research tool for heavy ion induced nuclear reactions.
