The Z pulsed power driver at Sandia National Laboratories has been upgraded to deliver more energy to imploding plasma and magnetic pressure equation-of-state loads. The upgraded system has been tested with up to 25 MJ stored in the Marx generators, and with more than 26 MA delivered to a magnetic pressure load. Large, multi-module systems such as Z require high performance, highly accurate, and highly...
Summary form only given. The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories is a thirty six module pulsed power driver utilized for the study of inertial confinement fusion, isentropic compression experiments, and high density physics. Currently it is undergoing an upgrade, called Z-Refurbishment (ZR). The upgraded Z pulsed power driver requires thirty six gas switches to be capable of low jitter high...
