Abstract

A system for producing high intensity ion bursts of nanosecond duration is described. It consists of a Van de Graaff accelerator fitted with a deflection pulser in the terminal and a post-acceleration Mobley magnet with a bunching factor of about 12. Results are given on the overall performance at 3 MeV proton energy, observing the neutrons and gamma rays from the reaction Mn 55(p, n)Fe 55. The system performs in accordance with design expectations and delivers ion bursts of less than 1 ns duration at a peak current of several milliamperes.
