Multi Gigawatt High Current Pulsed Electron Accelerator Technology Development Program at BARC
2014
High current intense electron beams were investigated earlier for Flash X-rays and nuclear electromagnetic pulse generation. Starting with moderate parameters of 200 kV, 6 kA, 60 ns pulsed electron beam source from a system named Kilo Ampere Linear Injector (KALI-75) our latest development is KALI-30 GW system rated for 1 MV, 30 kA, 80 ns. First repetitive pulse LINAC without spark gap switching was developed as Linear Induction Accelerator (LIA-200) for technology demonstrations at 100 Hz. Also a repetitive Marx generator coupled reflex triode system to operate at 10 Hz. Next to this series of development LIA-400 has been developed to a capacity of 400 kV, 4 kA, 100 ns, 300 Hz. To make these pulse power systems applicable for big LINAC projects like nToF studies or ADS program, a high current electron gun has also been developed to give 100 A, 2 ns,10 Hz pulses.
