Abstract: Present paper describes the design and test results of indigenously developed electron beam pulsed
accelerator, which is a kilo ampere linear injector: KALI-5000 having ratings of 1 MV, 80 kA, 100 ns, 80GW. It
comprises of Marx generator, Blumlein pulse forming line (PFL) and relativistic electron beam diode. It is a
single shot system. In view of numerous industrial and strategic applications of electron beam accelerators,
BARC is actively pursuing the design and development of various kinds of accelerators viz. 10 MeV RF
accelerators, 0.5 -3 MeV DC accelerator and 0.2-1 MeV pulsed electron accelerator. This paper presents the
subsystem details of KALI-5000 and recent experimental results with electron beam emission.
