Abstract

Some experiences with the use of electrostatic generators as injectors for electron synchrotrons at Cornell University and M.I.T. are described. At M.I.T. the injection energy was changed without any other essential modifications to the synchrotron. A factor of ten in intensity has been obtained, along with greater stability. Space charge does not appear to be the limiting mechanism of the beam current.
