Abstract
It was shown that nonuniform magnetic field forces are capable of propelling micron diameter iron particles from rest in a traveling wave tube. A force law was derived which qualitatively accounts for measured particle force densities. A parametric study was conducted on a traveling wave tube system to optimize the effect of the nonuniform magnetic field force. The study included the consequence of line loading and initial particle velocities. A particle injector, particle detection diagnostics, and a sequentially operational high voltage pulser were developed to implement execution of a sizable experiment in micro-particle acceleration by traveling wave means. A proposed experiment is described in detail utilizing the developed equipment.
