Scorpius Beam Physics Overview and a Few Remaining Concerns [Slides]

With so many new faces on board, I thought to take the opportunity to review some of the many beam physics issues that might cause problems after Scorpius is built and accelerating electron beams. Mitigation measures for all of these have been incorporated in the Scorpius design, wherever possible. In this talk, I’ll quickly review the physics issues that I feel are most problematic for Scorpius, based on my own experience, and that documented by other workers in the field of linear induction accelerators.
