Abstract
Many applications in scientific experimentation or industrial production require the generation and shaping of charged particle bunches. A particle bunch shaper can use less expensive and smaller electrical waveform generators when the particle bunch shaper uses a nanocrystalline magnetic material. High voltage switches are examples of electrical waveform generators. A pipe with two conductive sections separated by a ceramic gap can be run through the center of cores made with the nanocrystalline magnetic material to produce the particle bunch shaper. A voltage waveform transmitted from an electrical waveform generator, through a damping circuit, and through a coupling wire running adjacent to the pipe sections can shape charged particle bunches.
