Pulsed power system of linear induction accelerator for FNAL Neutrino Factory

In the year 2000, a feasibility study of a Neutrino Factory (NF) was conducted at FNAL. As part of NF drift channel, a phase rotation scheme involving a long-pulse accelerating system was suggested. This system should provide a voltage pulse that would correct charged particle energy spread. To implement this approach, a pulsed power system has been suggested that allowed forming a bipolar accelerating voltage pulse with predefined pulse shape. This report summarizes the main features of the system that is to drive an accelerating structure similar to that of a linear induction accelerator.
