Abstract :
In a typical heavy ion fusion driver design, the induction linac requires a multiple beam injector. We present a conceptual design for an 84-beam injector system with each beam channel carrying 0.5 A of beam current. Each channel starts with a 10-cm diameter surface ionization source followed by a 1.7 MV electrostatic Einzel lens-type preaccelerator and an electrostatic quadrupole (ESQ) matching section. The preaccelerator and matching section are 0.7 m and 5.0 m long respectively. The array has an overall diameter of 3.0 m at the ion source end and 1.0 m diameter at the exit
