The strong focusing of high current relativistic electron beams in multi-bunch wakefield acceleration is investigated. These beams are used for generating wake fields in dielectric loaded accelerating structures. We consider ramped charge distribution in the sequence of high current drive bunch. It is shown that the beam focusing system dumping beam break-up effect and elongating of a maximum distance the high current beam can travel determines the effectiveness of the energy transfer to the accelerated electron bunch. The optimal parameters of the focusing system on the basis of self-consistent transverse dynamics analysis are determined.

Linear Induction Accelerator (LIA) is a unique type of accelerator, which is capable to accelerate kilo-Ampere beam current to tens of MeV. The LIA acceleration modules, filled with ferrite or ferromagnetic toroid cores, can be conveniently stacked to obtain high energy. During the evolution of LIA, several models for the LIA acceleration module and the function of the cores have been proposed. Authors of this paper surveyed these models and tried to bridged them to form a consistent understanding of the LIA acceleration module. The unified understanding should be helpful in the further development and design of the LIA acceleration module.

The designs of accelerator systems that will be needed to transform Fermilab's Project X into a high-power proton driver for a muon collider and/or a neutrino factory are discussed. These applications require several megawatts of beam power delivered in tens or hundreds of short multi-GeV bunches per second, respectively. Project X may require a linac extension to higher energy for this purpose. Other major subsystems that are likely to be needed include storage rings to accumulate and shorten the proton bunches and an external beam combiner to deliver multiple bunches simultaneously to the pion production target.
