Performance of an impedance-variable pulsed high-power electron-beam accelerator based on energy efficient transmission.

Versatile high-power pulsed electron-beam accelerators that meet the requirements of pulsed high-power specifications are needed for appropriate applications in medical industry, defense, and other industries. The pulsed electron beam accelerator comprising a Marx generator and Blumlein pulse forming line (PFL) is designed to accelerate the electron beams at the level of 1 MeV when electrostatically discharging. The performance specifications of Marx generators consisting of a 100 kV DC power supply, R-L-C circuit, and high voltage switch are at a maximum 800 kV.
