The Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT) at Los Alamos National Laboratory produces flash radiographs of hydrodynamic experiments using two linear induction accelerators situated on orthogonal axes.The fmt axis accelerator is operational and has produced radiographs of hydrodynamic experiments. The second axis accelerator, which is in the commissioning stage, will generate an 18-MeV, 2 4 4 , 2-ps electron beam. These parameters are reduced during the initial phase of commissioning to _> 12-MeV, 2 1-kA, and ? 350-11s.These reduced parameters allow lower voltages and fewer components than what will be necessary for the final machine. This paper presents experimental results of commissioning the second axis DARHT accelerator, including an overview of the pulsed power system plus electrical performance data from the 3-MV injector Marx generator and the 200-kV, 2-ps induction accelerator cells. Beam transport data will also be presented
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
