Description
Summary:The collective acceleration of deuterons by an intense relativistic electron beam has been studied experimentally. The accelerated ion energy spectra for various different experimental configurations has been measured using stacked foil activation analysis. The spectra extend to energies below the injected electron beam energy, and thus allow estimates of the net efficiency of the acceleration process. The effect of variations in electron beam power and applied magnetic field on the acceleration process are also discussed.
