Thermal-mechanical design of a 150-mA, direct-current, 400-keV accelerator for production of 14-MeV neutrons (open access)

Thermal-mechanical design of a 150-mA, direct-current, 400-keV accelerator for production of 14-MeV neutrons

Several unique accelerator components were designed and built for the Rotating Target Neutron Source Facility at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Particular consideration was given to material selection and cooling design of components because the facility will have a large steady-state beam energy. Components discussed include the system composed of the ion source and 90-deg double-focusing magnet in the high-voltage terminal, a water-cooled 400-keV acceleration column, a pyrolytic-graphite beam collimator, and quick-disconnect beam-tube couplings.
