Reset system for multi-pulse linear induction accelerator

The triple-pulse linear induced accelerator (LIA) based on high voltage rectifier diodes needs an external reset system, for the diodes cut off the prepulse of the PFL charging which is used to reset the cavity cores of the single-pulse LIA. This paper describes the physics and circuit designs of the external reset unit, and introduces the layout of the whole reset system which includes other more units for charging, triggering and control. As a result, the system can reset the whole 92 cavities of the triple-pulse LIA steadily, quickly and fully.
