The Hydra Electron Beam Generator

The Hydra electron beam generator was designed to simrultaneously produce two 1 MV, 0.5 MA, 80 nanosecond electron beams that could be combined to form a single beam. The machine, undergoing final developmental tests, has generated a 0.5 MA, 1 MV peak electron beam from each line. This accelerator consists of a low-inductance Marx generator, two water-dielectric pulse-forming (PF) and impedance-transforming transmission lines and two low-inductance, high-current diodes. A description of the generator is presented along with developmental studies and initial testing data. The Hydra machine is based on accelerator principles described in the literature. The Marx generator is submerged in transformer oil and separated from the transmission line water by a lucite interface. The Marx charges each coaxial PF transmission line which is deionized water insulated to 3 MV in 0.9 microseconds. At peak voltage, a 3 MV SF6 spark gap electrically connects the 4 ohm PF line to the impedance transforming (4 ohm to 2 ohm) transmission line. The pulse is transmitted through this line to the single radial insulator diode. A 30 kilojoule, 100 nanosecond duration electron beam is formed by a cold cathode in each diode.
