Commissioning the DARHT-II accelerator

The 74-cell DARHT-II long-pulse linear induction accelerator (LIA) was commissioned in its final configuration in 2007-2008. The final accelerated beam parameters were 2 kA, and greater than 17 MeV in a pulse flat to better than +/- 1% for more than 1.6 micro-s. This report details the tuning of the LIA, diagnostics used, and measurements of the beam parameters.
