Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

A detailed study of the flexible Heliac configuration is presented. The remarkable flexibility of this device, which allows variation of the rotational transform, shear, and magnetic well depth over a relatively wide range, is described. Engineering considerations of error fields, finite cross-section conductors, and plasma-coil clearances are also discussed.
