Operating Experience With A High Repetition Rate Intense Ion Beam Diode Accelerator

摘要: A magnetically insulated ion beam diode with a controlled anode plasma is being operated as high repetition rate intense source. This paper discusses the unique capabilities and requirements of 100Hz (burst mode) provides insight into limitations both diagnostics. The ability to take hundreds shots per day permits performing statistical analysis operation function various parameters. Data from types experiments will be presented. pulsed power systems were described previously. present evolution design construction components which have now survived > 10,000 shots. speed data acquisition system companion software capable acquiring at Ims intervals in bursts processing it < 1 minute between described.
