Abstract:Scorpius is a new multi-pulse linear induction accelerator (LIA) for flash radiography of large-scale, explosivelydriven hydrodynamic experiments. It has been proposed to use solid-state pulsed-power modules to provide the accelerating voltages for Scorpius. It is expected that this approach can provide four programmable 50-kV accelerating pulses to a single gap. Cascading these to form an LIA to accelerate four injected 2-kA, 2-MeV electron-beam pulses to 20-MeV is proposed. Since this highcurrent accelerator… Show more
