The Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator Research (HIFAR) program of the USDOE has for several years concentrated on developing linear induction accelerators as Inertia
This review is intended to place in perspective our current view of the parameter ranges for induction linac drivers that lead to attractive scenarios for civil
In the last three years, the US program in Heavy Ion Fusion has concentrated on understanding the induction linac approach to a power-plant driver. In this meth
This paper discusses induction linac drivers necessary to accelerate heavy ions at inertial fusion targets. Topics discussed are: driver configurations, the cur
An induction linear accelerator that produces an energetic (5 to 20 GeV) beam of heavy (130 to 238 amu) ions is a prime candidate as a driver for inertial fusio
