We added seven new tutorials to our technical library:
1) Trak design of an electron injector for a coupled-cavity linear accelerator. Electron gun that maintains its focal properties over a broad range of current for high capture efficiency in an electron linac.
2) Calculating field stress on a high-voltage insulator with HiPhi. Determination of field stress over the bushing of a high voltage circuit breaker as a function of surrounding structures in a switchyard.
3) PerMag design of a focusing magnet for a hollow-beam klystron. Designing a high-uniformity solenoid magnet with minimum drive current.
4) Calibration of a beam probe with Magnum. Calculations for beam probe monitors for the DARHT II accelerator. Transmission line with an elliptical center conductor to investigate the feasibility of detecting non-circular beams.
5) Determining radiographic resolution with GamBet. Using a Monte Carlo code to determine detectability limits. The simulations determine the detector plane X-ray flux distributions for targets with very small cavities.
6) Simulating a rod pinch diode for pulsed radiography with Trak and GamBet. Pulsed-power generators combined with rod-pinch electron diodes are often used to generate intense fluxes of X-rays from a small volume. One application is pulsed radiography of explosive events. Simulation of self-consistent electron and ion flow is a challenge to computer codes because particle motion is dominated by electric and magnetic forces generated by the beam. The tutorial gives a set-by-step description of a Trak setup to model the diode and GamBet calculations to determine the X-ray flux dose at a target.
7) Simulation of a pulsed dipole radiator with Aether. Benchmark calculations of the radiation emitted when two high-voltage electrodes are short circuit through a spark. The example is a useful prototype for EMP studies. It also demonstrates how to initiate an RF solution from an electrostatic field distribution.
