Abstract :
The PHERMEX standing-wave rf electron linac is a high-current pulsed electron beam generator that is used for flash x-radiography. This accelerator is being upgraded to 1000-A peak current and 50-MeV peak energy over a 150-ns pulse or over three 40-ns pulses. This upgrade is a result of increasing the rf power in the cavities and installing a new (Physics International) injector pulser.
