2014 This summary reviews the information and new results presented at this Conference and compares the present overall performance of the major electrostatic accelerators to that at the time of the last Conference, four years ago. The advances in electrostatic accelerator technology in the four year period are discussed in terms of accelerator tube improvements, electrostatic charging system i...

Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex is developing a single-ended electrostatic ion accelerator to irradiate gaseous ions, such as hydrogen and nitrogen, on materials for industrial applications. ELV type high voltage power supply has been selected. Because of the limited space, electrical power, and robust operation, a 200 MHz RF ion source has been developed. In this paper, the accelerator...

Transformation of ionic pump (electron wind, Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator) technology from curious laboratory experiments to practical industrially acceptable devices requires pushing the basic technology to its physical limits. This paper presents a description of main design optimization options. A numerical modeling study demonstrates the effect of geometry and voltage distribution on the...

2014 This paper reviews problem areas in beam transmission which are frequently encountered during the design, operation and upgrading of electrostatic accelerators. Examples are provided of analytic procedures that clarify accelerator ion optics and lead to more effective beam transport. Suggestions are made for evaluating accelerator design with the goal of improved performance. OPTICS, POLAR...
