Abstract
An electron-beam transformer accelerator is described. Its high voltage terminal rises up to 1.2 MV with an input voltage of 18 kV. The maximum electron-beam current is 16 kA; the pulse length is about 20 nsec. Aluminized Mylar anodes and foilless anodes are used. With foilless anodes the repetition rate is at present 3 pulses/sec. Pulse shape details are given and discussed to understand the behavior of the machine and its output characteristics. An improvement program is also presented.
