Title: Generation of an Intense Ion Beam by a Pinched Relativistic Electron Beam
Abstract: The tightly pinched electron beam of a pulsed electron accelerator is used to generate an intense beam of ions. A foil anode and vacuum drift tube are used. The space-charge field of the pinched beam in the tube accelerates ions from the foil anode. Ion currents of 10 kA at a density of 5 kA/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ with pulse length of 50 nsec are obtained using a 5 kJ, 450 kV, $3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\Omega}$ diode.
