Abstract
A magnetically insulated diode has been used to produce intense fluxes of protons with high efficiency. Currents in excess of 4 kA with current density greater than 50 A/cm2 have been produced in a 50‐nsec bursts at energies up to 200 keV. The system appears to be easily scalable to higher parameters. The extraction of the beams, as well as geometries in which current densities of kA/cm2 may be realized, are discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
