Air insulated Cockcroft-Walton (Grienacher) cascades have been historically used to generate high voltages for accelerating particles. This paper explores how this technology can be utilised through a system level approach to develop more compact accelerator configurations with much higher voltages and gradients. One such concept is presented that realises a 20MeV, 1mA tandem accelerator that has a footprint ~2m^2 |
