The Academician A. I. Pavlovsky Prize, named for the great Russian physicist and contributor to the field of ultra-high magnetic fields, is awarded to both a Russian and non-Russian researcher for contributions to the field of megagauss physics and technology. This year's Prize, voted upon by the International Steering Committee, was awarded to James H. Goforth, of the Los Alamos National Laboratory...
The 2012 14th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS XIV) was held on 14–19 October 2012 at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort and Spa on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii, USA.
In 2006, the Board of Directors of the Megagauss Institute established the Megagauss Institute Award for outstanding, career-long contributions to the field of science, technology, and applications of ultra-high magnetic fields. The first award recipient was Professor Fritz Herlach, in 2006. We are pleased to announce that this year's Megagauss Institute Award recipient is Dr. Peter J. Turchi.
An exploding wire model that accounts for the electric field enhanced conductivity of dense metal plasma is applied to simulate an exploding wire opening switch. In contrast to many z-pinch experiments, operated in vacuum, the experiments here discuss wires vaporized in a high pressure gas environment. In addition to this, these experiments are primarily concerned with sub-eV temperatures, with a...
The cylindrical isentropic compression by high magnetic field pressure is very useful in high energy density physics. Some primary experimental works on the explosively magnetic flux compression generator had been carried out since 2011 at Institute of Fluid Physics, Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (IFP, CAEP). A traditional configuration of explosively driven flux generator had been designed...
A dear friend and colleague, Dillon H. McDaniel, passed away unexpectantly at his home in Placitas, New Mexico on May 1, 2012. We give tribute to a lifetime of work and contribution to the field of high-energy density science, pulsed power, and megagauss physics.
Many applied projects concern with transmission line which inductance is parasitic. Thus, the problem to minimize the inductance value is urgent. In the present work the form of coaxial transmission line was determined for given positions of generator output and load input. The results achieved may be applied for magnetic flux transfer from the explosion driven generators (or another magnetic flux...
Numerical calculation and experimental investigation of deformations in the one-layer quasi-force-free magnet placed inside the diamagnetic shield are carried out in this work. The calculations indicated a distinction of the current distribution in the conductor from one calculated without taking into account a presence of gaps and of the finite thickness of conductors. They allowed to estimate appearing...
The paper presents optical probes to measure currents of tens megamperes and megagauss magnetic fields of ∼10 MGs. Operating principle of the probes is based on the Faraday effect. Investigation results on determination of optical losses appearing at fibers alloyed with different dopants in a core under influence of an ionizing radiation at its rise time up to 1013 R\s are described in the paper....
