Abstract
A single state 4.5 MV electrostatic accelerator was designed and const ructed at Peking University, P.R. China. In order to measure the neutr on energy with time of flight method, it is necessary to compress the continuous ion beams into pulses. Therefore, a beam pulsing system has been incorporated in this machine. This paper describes the 9 MHz rf bunching system, the 1.5 MHz rf chopping system, the relevant electron ics, the simulations of particle longitudinal motions, the requirement s for the transverse focusing system and the experimental results. A d uration of the beam pulse width (FWHM) of 1.8 ns was observed.
