Abstract

In previous published work by this author, a modified conventional linac was presented using a highly conducting plasma with sustained pumping velocity replacing the conventional magnet. The motional plasma core interacts with pulsing current, establishing sustained perturbations in the applied magnetic field with subsequent rise of periodic regions of boundary layer separation. The same work revealed that while magnetic perturbation will dominate the upstream region, effective accelerating potential prevails throughout the downstream channel. An analytical study is presented here, showing controlled acceleration of the divertor exhaust plasma contents, using this plasma-core-type linac. The design principle is based on the Karlovitz criterion for the development of accelerating voltage within the magnetic boundary layer.
