Dielectric cavity, IFR Guided Recirculating Linear Accelerator

An accelerator technology concept which has the potential to meet future Army and Navy mission requirements is the Dielectric Cavity, IFR Guided Recirculating Linear Induction Accelerator (IFRR). This paper presents the advantages of this concept and the areas of research to be pursued to establish the viability of this accelerator concept, review experimental and theoretical results, outline the on-going research program, and present a point design and scaling relations for a conceptual IFRR which is based on properties of materials which are near-term state-of-the-art.
