16. Beam recirculation experiment with U-bend beam line
Multiple improvements let us to demonstrate stable recirculation of 0.5 A electron beam
Better understanding of beam optics and improvements in the gun and collector design made it possible to recirculate a beam of up to 1.7 A at 3.5 MV for several minutes – it’s 6 MW of beam power!
Beam recovery after an interruption of a 1-A beam recirculation
The use of a protection system, allowing to shut the gun off during interruptions, helped to avoid large drops of the Pelletron voltage and large pressure jumps. As a result, the beam recovery time is as low as 15 seconds

Requirements on the magnetic field in the cooling section
Beam angular spread in the cooling section should be less than 10-4 rad. This requirement impose certain restrictions on the quality of the magnetic field in the cooling section.
longitudinal field
transverse field
To cancel the solenoid edge effect electron at the entrance of the cooling section should have a proper angular momentum. To impart an angular momentum onto the electron beam the electron gun is immersed in a solenoidal magnetic field. Thus, a beam is produced by a 5-mm diameter cathode in a 600-G magnetic field and then propagated to the cooling section, where it is injected into a 150-G solenoid.
