Abstract
The material throughput capabilities of RDI's new 550 keV and 800 keV Dynamitron(R) accelerators have been enhanced by increasing their beam current ratings from 100 mA to 160 mA. Future requirements up to 200 mA have been anticipated in the designs. The high-voltage power supply , beam scanner and beam window have all been modified to accommodate t he higher current ratings. A new programmable control system has also been developed. The basic design concepts are described and performanc e data are presented in this paper.
