  • Abstract
    Design of the feedback linac is centered on using the exhaust fusion reactor plasma at sustained pumping velocity to act as the moving core for the linac continuum, interacting with the controlled pulsing current producing the exciting magnetic field. The continuous interaction will generate perturbations in the imposed magnetic field with subsequent formation of regional and intentional boundary layer separation. An electric accelerating field will be produced by the magnetofluid interaction with the effective dominant role along the downstream region of the divertor channel, over which the accelerating field has an effect. The output accelerated plasma could then be recycled for reacceleration or to serve as a renewal medium for the acceleration core. It is predicted that the new design concept of the feedback linac will have a significant impact on the acceleration of heavy ion beams in fusion research as well as on new operational design for linear induction accelerators
