Abstract
Accelerator systems capable of driving inertial fusion targets are described. They are based on linear induction accelerator technology coupled with new methods of beam transport using electron neutralization of ion space charge. The resulting accelerators are modular and relatively compact. Typical unbunched output parameters of a beamline are 37 kA of Ne+ at 150 MeV in a 60 ns pulse.Keywords
