Popis: The operating principles of a direct-action accelerator designed to acceIerate electrons to an energy of 1.5 MeV with a mean beam power of tens of kilowatts and an efficiency of around 90% are described. The electron-current pulse length can be varied from 0 to g msec, and the repetition frequency up to 50 times per sec. The mean current im may reach 1/6 of the maximum current in the pulse. Magnetic lenses are installed in order to focus electron currents of up to 100 mA into a beam a few mm in diameter in the accelerating tube. Heavy-metal screens are placed close to the axis of the tube in order to protect the gas gaps and other electrically-stressed parts of the accelerator from radiation arising inside the tube.
