Abstract:A compact nanosecond pulse generator was developed, aiming at producing high-energy flash x rays with a long lifetime. The generator was designed on the basis of a 0.67-ns pulse forming line (PFL), which is charged to ∼700 kV by an air core Tesla transformer and switched by a fast spark gap. The Tesla transformer consists of a single turn primary coil surrounding a 44-turn secondary coil using no magnetic cores. 2D magnetostatic and electrostatic simulations were carried out, and the inductance and stray capac… Show more
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.
