The imploding liner break up when implosion approaches the axis and, as the result, the liner radial compression ratio is restricted. An initial axial magnetic field have a stabilizing effect on the liner implosion. But the axial magnetic field that is necessary to stabilize the liner implosion is too high to obtain the radial compression ratio r{sub o}/r{sub f} > 20. Some methods of the liner stabilization in addition to the entraining of an initial magnetic field were used in the experiments on the SNOP-3 generator. The stable plasma pinches were formed, as the inner shell imploded. These plasma parameters are suitable for x-ray lasing experiments.","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124483477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a second location, the beam hits another Cherenkov emitter, which is viewed by a framing camera. Measurements at these two locations can provide a time-resolved measure of the beam expansion. The two measurements, however, must be synchronized with each other, because the beam radius is not constant throughout the pulse due to variations in beam current and energy. To correlate the timing of the two diagnostics, several shots have been taken with both diagnostics viewing Cherenkov light from the same foil. Experimental measurements of the Cherenkov light from one foil viewed by both diagnostics will be presented to demonstrate the feasibility of correlating the diagnostics with each other. Streak camera data showing the optical fiducial, as well as the final correlation of the two diagnostics, will also be presented.

For example, a sheet beam with a meander line structure is proposed to obtain a 100 watt W-band power booster amplifier. A sheet beam with a tapered grating structure is also being considered as a wideband ({approximately} 10--20% instantaneous bandwidth) Ka-band amplifier with approximately 10 kW of average output power. The authors describe results of research that examine critical technological issues relevant to the realization of the proposed devices. The method of forming a sheet beam using magnetic quadrupole lenses and focusing it using periodically-cusped magnetic (PCM) fields are discussed. A pencil beam from a 10 kV, 0.25 A Pierce electron source is used for the initial investigations. The EGUN simulations with the measured magnetic field indicates that a thin (2 mm dia.) beam is available at the interaction region. Beam characterization has been performed using current density probes and an electrostatic velocity spread analyzer. Numerical modeling and cold test measurements of a tapered slow-wave structure together with the simulations and measurements of small-signal gain and bandwidth are also presented.","PeriodicalId":254741,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 21st International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128081012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coupling between these two sections determines the quality factor (Q) of the slow wave structure and affects the starting current and the saturation processes occurring when the electron beam is injected into the device. For some applications, the end reflection and quality factor are made as low as possible over a wide frequency band. The authors goal has been to study the end reflection and quality factor of a practical slow wave structure both experimentally and numerically. When both ends of the slow wave structure are shorted, a resonant cavity is formed that can have a high quality factor (1,000--3,000) since the only losses are due to ohmic heating of the cavity walls. By introduction of an output section additional diffractive losses are created. The width of the resonances grows larger, i.e. the Q of the cavity has been lowered to 200--300 in some cases. The quality factors for all the axial modes of the TM{sub 01} mode in a closed cavity have been measured as havemore » the quality factors for the same modes when the cavity is coupled to a smooth, linearly tapered output section.

Galambos, MA. Bohnet, T.R. Jarboe, A.T. Mattick, t h d j $ %&+ The Transient Internal Probe (TIP) is designed to permit measurement of internal magnetic fields in hot, high density plasmas. The concept consists of accelerating a probe to high velocities (2.2 Km/s) in order to minimize probe exposure time to plasma. Faraday rotation within the probe is used to measure the local magnetic field. An Argon laser illuminates the probe consisting of a Faraday-rotator material with a retro-reflector that r e m s the incident light to the detection system. Performance results of the light gas gun and optical detection system will shown. To date, the gas gun has been extensively tested consistently achieving velocities between 2 and 3 Ms. The probe and detection scheme have been tested by dropping the probe through a static magnetic field. Magnetic field resolution of 20 gauss and spatial resolution of 5 mm has been achieved. System frequency response is 10Mhz. Work is currently being conducted to integrate the diagnostic system with laboratory plasma experiments. Specifically a gas interfaced system has been developed to prevent helium muzzle gas from entering the plasma chamber with the probe. Additionally the probe must be separated from the sabot which protects the probe during acceleration in the gas gun. Data will be presented showing the results of various separation techniques. Results of pressure measurements illustrating the effectiveness of the gas interface system will also be presented.
