We have developed conceptual designs of two next-generation petawatt-class pulsed-power accelerators. The designs are based on the architecture described in Ref. [1]. The prime power source of both designs is a system of lineartransformer drivers (LTDs) [2,3]. Both designs use six water-insulated radial-transmission-line impedance transformers [1,4,5] to transport the power generated by the LTDs to...
As the last command-triggered switch in the Refurbished Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), the laser-triggered gas switch (LTGS) system is instrumental in the overall performance of Z and allows for flexibility in pulse shaping for various experimental campaigns. It is desirable to push the operating envelope of the switch to higher voltages and currents to allow for a higher peak...
A system of 36 laser-triggered gas switches (LTGS) serves as the last set of command-triggered switches in the 80-TW refurbished Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The system is instrumental in the overall performance of Z and allows for flexibility in pulse shaping for various experimental campaigns. It is desirable to push the operating envelope of the switches to higher voltages...
