Experiments are carried out on acceleration of deuterons and protons by passing a high-current, I5 kA, electron beam through a gas at pressures ranging from 5 .’ IO-” to I torr. At electron energy of 700 keV and pulse length 50 nsec the maximum energy of the accelerated deutcrons and ions exceeded 2 MeV. The total number of accelerated particles per pulse was 10” at a hydrogen or deuterium pressure of 1.2 ‘i IO-’ torr. A A Kolomenskiy et al, Z/I Eksper Teor FL-, 68 (I ), 1975, 51-54 (in Russian). 33

A simple method is described for measuring the energy of electrons in an accelerator beam in the range of 2 lo 10 MeV. The method is based on the measurement of partial absorption of the beam in an aluminium foil with known thickness. The dependence of the electron absorption coefficient on the electron energy is presented for various thicknesses of the aluminium foil.

(USSR) To verify new methods of trapping and formation of relativistic electron rings, the equipment TREK for final energy of 18 MeV has been constructed. It is proposed to use gas focusing with the aid of ionised gas which should allow to increase the pressure in the chamber to 10s5 torr. An injector Tonus with injection energy of 1.5 MeV at a beam current of 2.6 kA is used.

(USSR) A pulse electron accelerator with pulse current up to 10 kA and pulse length 30 nsec is described. The energy of electrons in the beam can be continuously varied from 200 to 550 keV.
