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...
The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories is presently undergoing an upgrade, called Z-Refurbishment (ZR) [1], that is aimed at improving capacity, precision, and capability to essentially all of its pulsed power components, including its thirty six laser-triggered gas switches (LTGS). Voltage and current requirements for the ZR LTGS have increased 25% from the onset of the ZR program, with no...
