Executive Summary
This paper presents the design, subsystem details, and experimental test results of the KALI-5000, an indigenously developed pulsed electron beam accelerator at BARC. Rated for 1 MV, 80 kA, 100 ns, and 80 GW, the system comprises a 1.5 MV Marx generator, a 1 MV Blumlein pulse forming line with castor oil dielectric, and a relativistic electron beam (REB) diode. The accelerator has been successfully tested up to 600 kV, 70 kA, and 100 ns, generating high power microwaves (HPM) at gigawatt levels for various industrial, defense, and strategic applications.

Abstract. Present paper describes the design and test results of indigenously developed electron beam pulsed accelerator, which is a kilo ampere linear injector: KALI-5000 having ratings of 1 MV, 80 kA, 100 ns, 80GW. It comprises of Marx generator, Blumlein pulse forming line (PFL) and relativistic electron beam diode. It is a single shot system. In view of numerous industrial and strategic applications of electron beam accelerators, BARC is actively pursuing the design and development of various kinds of accelerators viz. 10 MeV RF accelerators, 0.5 -3 MeV DC accelerator and 0.2-1 MeV pulsed electron accelerator. This paper presents the subsystem details of KALI-5000 and recent experimental results with electron beam emission.
