DOWNLOAD EBOOKSubstantial savings in size and cost over a linear machine may be achieved in an induction accelerator in which a heavy ion beam makes many ((approximately)50) passes through one or more circular accelerators. We examine a point design for such an accelerator, consisting of four rings. We discuss the consequences of this design on emittance growth, longitudinal instability growth, vacuum requirements, pulser requirements, pulsed-magnet requirements, acceleration schedule, and cost. 3 refs., 1 tab.
