Caption
The Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) is an energy-efficient induction accelerator that will focus beams of ions using the technique of neutralized drift compression developed at Berkeley Lab. Transmission lines for creating high-voltage pulses contributed by Livermore, known as Blumleins, power the accelerator cells (dark blue, top). Beam-neutralizing plasma injectors and the drift chamber that focuses the beam on the target (orange and red, right) were developed in an earlier experiment, NDCX-I.
