The RITS-6 accelerator at Sandia National Laboratories has been used to test the Self Magnetic Pinch (SMP) diode. The SMP diode is a flash x-ray radiography source with a radiation pulse length of 30–50 ns, dependent on the diode configuration. A hollow cathode emits electrons through an approximately 1 cm vacuum A-K gap onto a high Z material. The electron beam pinches from its own magnetic field...
Self-Magnetic Pinch (SMP) diode experiments are in progress at the RITS-6 accelerator (5–11MV, 100–200kA) at Sandia National Laboratories. Te SMP diode is a flash x-ray radiography source with a radiation pulse length of 30–45 ns, dependent on the diode configuration. A hollow cathode emits electrons through an approximately 1cm vacuum A-K gap onto a high Z material. The high current (∼150kA) compresses...
The self-magnetic pinch (SMP) diode1 is an intense flash x-ray radiographic source being developed at Sandia National Laboratories. The diode is capable of less than 3 mm spots and greater than 300 rads measured at 1 meter depending on the diode voltage. The diode is most commonly fielded on the Radiographic Integrated Test Stand (RITS-6), a 7.5 M V, 185 kA inductive voltage adder (IVA) accelerator...
