Abstract
A high voltage DC source for a particle accelerator is an inductively charged, coaxial nest of capacitors. The nest of capacitors comprises coaxial tubes of insulation, one inside the next, and an inductive coil. The inductive coil is wound in several layers between the tubes of insulation. The nest of capacitors is inductively charged by a high turns ratio transformer. The transformer's primary coil is wound the length of the accelerator outside the nested capacitors. The transformer's secondary coil comprises the inductive coil layered between the tubes of insulation. Diodes in series with the secondary coil produce the DC signal of the source.
