Corkscrew Motion Estimate for A High Current LIA


Abstract

A high current linear induction accelerator now is being constructed at Institute of Fluid Physics. It consists of 18 blocks, totally 72 induction accelerating cells, and 18 connection cells with ports for beam diagnostic hardware and vacuum pump. The goal of the facility is to obtain high quality, high current pulse electron beams. The corkscrew motion caused by chromatic aberration and misalignment of a focusing system is unavoidable, some measures to control the corkscrew must be taken. At first magnetic alignment is performed by using pulsed-wire technique very carefully, then the natural tilt errors is corrected by a pair of steering coil, which is located inside the cell, after that based on the alignment data a simple estimate of the beam centroid motion has been down by transfer matrix algorithm. In this paper, the calculated results and analysis are presented.
