We perform Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation of KALI-30 GW pulsed power generator based rod-pinch diode. It is shown that ions emitted from the anode-plasma play a crucial role in diode dynamics. It is found that ions not only help in compensating the space charge due to electron beam, but also lead to enhancement of the local electric field at the side walls of the cathode leading to additional electron...
A 50 ampere beam current having a rise time lesser than 500 pico-seconds with its energy 50 keV is generated using field emission mechanism. Beam duration was 2 ns. CsI coating on carbon fibre cathode was done using plasma spray coating. The results obtained from this cathode were compared to the carbon fibre cathode and the reason behind higher current density in the case of CsI coating has been...
A Flash X-ray diode has been designed and developed for generation of single shot, nanosecond duration x-rays from KALI-5000 Pulse Power System (0.8-1 MV, 40 kA, 100 ns). The typical electron beam parameter was 500 kV, 8 kA, 100 ns, with a few hundreds of A/cm current density. The spot size for different diode configurations varied from 4 mm to 2 mm. X-ray radiograph of various metal objects were...
Summary form only given. Intense relativistic electron beam generation studies were carried out in a planar diode configuration to investigate the effect of the plasma expansion on the impedance characteristics of the diode. The diode voltage and current waveforms were analyzed with the bipolar space-charge limited flow model. The anode and cathode plasma expansion velocities were calculated using...
Summary form only given. Intense gigawatt relativistic electron beam generation studies were carried out in the presence of prepulse. Electron beams were generated using planar and annular graphite cathodes of various diameters. At 25 mm anode-cathode gap beam parameters obtained are 386 kV, 25 kA, 100 ns. A bipolar prepulse voltage has been recorded at the diode for both the cathodes. Amplitude of...
Intense Relativistic Electron beam diode has been operated without a Prepulse switch. A bipolar Prepulse of peak 60 kV voltage has been recorded at the diode voltage. Prepulse generated plasma expands and lowers the impedance of the diode. For small gap Prepulse generated plasma completely fills the anode cathode gap and the diode behaves as plasma filled diode. It has been observed that electron...
