P. Spiller et al., FINAL BEAM TRANSPORT AND THE APPLICATION OF HIGH-CURRENT PULSED QUADRUPOLE LENSES FOR FOCUSING IN AN INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION TEST FACILITY, Fusion engineering and design, 32-3, 1996, pp. 391-394
Final beam transport and focusing are key issues of the study group fo
r a heavy ion ignition facility. Fundamental investigations on a techn
ically and financially feasible beam guiding and focusing system have
been started. By applying high current pulsed, iron-free quadrupole ma
gnets it seems to be possible to overcome crucial problems in the fina
l focusing.
