Abstract
A multi-module multi-terawatt electrophysical facility “Gamma” is being developed at RFNCVNIIEF, Sarov, Russia. The facility will be used for conducting experiments in different fields of radiation physics. The first module of the facility – a high-current electron accelerator “Gamma-1” has been created. The output electric parameters of the module are as follows: electron energy ≤2.0 MeV, diode current 0.75 MA, maximal electric power 1.5 TW. Description of accelerator design and principles of its operation are presented. Results of experiments as well as further prospects on building a full-scale facility are given.

By present more than 580 shots have been done on the accelerator “Gamma-1”
Summary
A multi-module multi-terawatt electrophysical facility “Gamma”[1,2] is being developed at RFNC-VNIIEF, Sarov, Russia. Each module of the facility will be able to generate electric pulses with output power up to 1.5 TW. The first module of the facility – a highcurrent pulsed electron accelerator “Gamma-1” has been created. The accelerator design is given in detail in Ref. 3
