We investigate the generation and propagation of intense pulsed ion beams at the 6 MeV level and above using the Hermes III facility at Sandia National Laborato
The subject of this review paper is the field of intense pulsed ion beam generation and the potential application of the beams to fusion research. Considerable
Neutralization and focusing of intense charged particle beam pulses by electrons forms the basis for a wide range of applications to high energy accelerators an
Intense Ion and Electron Beams treats intense charged-particle beams used in vacuum tubes, particle beam technology and experimental installations such as free
The fundamentals of intense pulsed ion beam generation are reviewed. The basic processes operating in reflexing electron sources, pinched electron diodes, and m
