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....
We discuss two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the liner implosion, which model the development of Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability and interaction between the liner and PU glide planes. The simulations were conducted with variations in methodological parameters (random initial perturbations etc.) and in the glide plane shape. We found a glide plane shape that provides reliable electric...
The AFRL Shiva Star capacitor bank (1300 microfarads, up to 120 kilovolts) operated typically with 4 to 5 megajoules of electrically stored energy, with axial discharge currents of 10 to 15 megamps, and current rise times of approximately 10 microseconds, has been used to drive metal shell (solid liner) implosions in several geometries, including long cylindrical designs, which are suitable for compression...
