The Flash X-ray Radiography (FXR) [1] line-ar induction accelerator at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory produces x-ray bursts for radiographs. The machine is able to produce x-ray spot sizes less than 2mm. Using the spot sizes measured from the magnet scanning, the beam parameters are unfolded by modelling the FXR LINAC with the simulation code AMBER [2] and the envelope code XENV [3]. In this study, the most recent spot size measurement results and techniques used to extract the beam parameters are described. Using the unfolded beam parameters as the initial condition, the backstreaming ions' neutralization factor f = 0.3 is found by comparing the calculated spot sizes with measured spot sizes at the target.
