L-3 Pulse Sciences (L-3 PS) is fabricating a 6-MV biconic pulse generator to drive a horizontally polarized dipole electromagnetic pulse simulator antenna at the Naval Air Systems Command, Pax River. The L-3 PS pulser, i.e., the horizontal fast rise electromagnetic pulser (HFREMP), will replace the Maxwell Laboratories ML-5 pulser. The HFREMP project is funded through the Central Test and Evaluation...
A prototype PFL was tested in a test bed at L-3 as part of the recently completed IVA design effort for flash radiographic sources in the new Hydrus hydrodynamics research facility at AWE. The prototype PFL represented one of the ten PFLs in the baseline IVA configuration. The 7 ohm water filled, coaxial PFL incorporates a laser triggered output switch followed by a self-breaking water sharpening...
Electa is a repetitively pulsed, electron beam pumped krypton fluoride (KrF) gas laser that is a step in developing the technologies that meet the Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) requirements for durability, efficiency, repetition rate, and cost. The technologies to be developed in the Electa system are to be directly scalable to a full size fusion power plant beam line. We have fielded an advanced pulsed...
The six-cell RITS-6 accelerator is an upgrade of the existing RITS-3 accelerator and is next in the sequence of Sandia IVA accelerators built to investigate/validate critical accelerator and radiographic diode issues for scaling to the Radiographic Integrated Test Stand (RITS) (nominally 16 MV, 156 kA, and 70 ns). In the RITS-6 upgrade to RITS-3 the number of cells/cavities, PFLs, laser triggered...
