We describe design and testing of an induction cell with modulator for the Relativistic Klystron Two-Beam Accelerator (RK-TBA) concept, an option for the power source for the Next Linear Collider (NLC). FM Technologies has designed and built a prototype induction accelerator, which we call a re-accelerator, for a joint LLNL/LBNL TBA technology test-bed experiment.

The Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II, PBFA II, is now the largest pulsed power device in operation. This paper will summarize its first year and a half of operation for the Department of Energy (DOE) Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program. Thirty-six separate modules provide 72 output pulses that combine to form a 100 TY output pulse at the accelerator center. PBFA II was successfully tes...

One particular laser accelerator is discussed in detail: the Template Laser (LT) Accelerator. According to one design, it employs mirrors placed periodically along the particle trajectory. According to another design, the mirrors are omitted, and additional electromagnetic fields are employed instead. The former design is a near field accelerator, but the latter is not. It is shown that contrar...

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing the project named KOMAC (Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex) within the frame work of national mid and long term nuclear research plan. The final objectives of KOMAC is to build a 20MW (1 GeV and 20 mA) cw (100% duty factor) proton linear accelerator. As the first stage, the low energy accelerator up to 20 MeV is being deve...

The need to debug hybrid parallel programs on heterogeneous accelerator clusters opens a new set of challenges for concurrently managing the processes and threads at node and accelerator levels. Currently, there exist open source debuggers for traditional HPC clusters, which support debugging of multi-node parallel programs. At present, debugging at the accelerator level is handled through lang...

The paper presents a prototype of the accelerator commissioning and simulation application toolkit based on the Unified Accelerator Libraries (UAL) framework.

In 1964, a positive ion horizontal type Van de Graaff accelerator (KN3000) was installed at Atomic Energy Center, Dhaka (AECD). This accelerator was manufactured by the High Voltage Engineering Corporation, Burlington, Mass., USA. Van de Graaff accelerator consists of a number of operating parts related each other. This accelerator can produce and accelerate 3 MeV proton beam using Hydrogen, He...
