A Fast, Electromagnetically Driven Supersonic Gas Jet Target For Laser Wakefield Acceleration

Journal Article Krishnan, Mahadevan ; Wright, Jason ; Ma, Timothy - AIP Conference Proceedings

Laser-Wakefield acceleration (LWFA) promises electron accelerators with unprecedented electric field gradients. Gas jets and gas-filled capillary discharge waveguides are two primary targets of choice for LWFA. Present gas jets have lengths of only 2-4 mm at densities of 1-4x10{sup 19} /cm{sup 3}, sufficient for self-trapping and acceleration to energies up to {approx}150 MeV. While 3 cm capillary structures have been used to accelerate beams up to 1 GeV, gas jets require a well-collimated beam that is {>=}10 mm in length and <500 {mu}m in width, with a tunable gas density profile to optimize the LWFA process.

Pneumatically-driven fast closing valve system for synchrotron radiation sources

Journal Article Kanaya, N ; Sato, S ; Nakajima, K ; ... - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

A fast closing valve (FCV) system has been built to protect the vacuum of the electron storage ring against sudden vacuum failures during synchrotron radiation experiments. An electronic control detects the failure, and closes a 140 x 17 mm aperture within 32 ms with a guillotine blade driven by pneumatic pressure. This pressure is gated by a magnetic valve which is operated by an explosive charge from a capacitor bank. The design of the FCV itself is very simple; it is operated directly by a single pneumatic piston. The FCV system has a long operating lifetime and the blade canmore » be readily rearmed in 0.5 s.« less

A simple fast pulse gas valve using a dynamic pressure differential as the primary closing mechanism

Journal Article Thomas, J C ; Hwang, D Q ; Horton, R D ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments; (United States)

In this article we describe a simple fast pulse gas valve developed for use in a plasma discharge experiment. The valve delivers 10[sup 17]--10[sup 19] molecules per pulse varied by changing the voltage on the electromagnetic driver power supply. Valve pulse widths are observed to be less than 300 [mu]s full width at half maximum with a rise time of less than 100 [mu]s resulting in a maximum gas flow rate of [similar to]10[sup 22] molecules per second. An optical transmission technique was used to determine the mechanical opening and closing characteristics of the valve piston. A fast ionization gaugemore »« less

Fast-opening magnetic valve for high-pressure gas injection and applications to hydrogen pellet fueling systems

Journal Article Milora, S L ; Combs, S K ; Foust, C R - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

A fast, magnetically driven gas valve and its application to pneumatic-based solid hydrogen pellet injectors are described. The valve, which is equipped with a polyimide stem tip (hard seal) and a 5-mm-diam orifice, can open against working pressures up to 140 bar (2000 psi). Other unique features of this design include temperature- and radiation-resistant seals, a programmable output pressure pulse, and repetitive operation in excess of 20 Hz. A prototype valve has been used to propel frozen hydrogen isotope pellets to speeds of up to 1900 m/s.

Fast opening toroidal gas valve

Journal Article Myers, B R ; Levine, M A ; Shaw, R S - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

A pulsed toroidal gas valve is described. The valve, which has a 10-cm aperture through the center, is designed to be used in toroidal plasma experiments where current-carrying conductors must pass through the axis of symmetry. The valve uses a coil and magnetic flux concentrator to displace an aluminum diaphragm by magnetic forces. Upon energizing the coil, the diaphragm opens in a few tens of microseconds and releases the gas (hydrogen) contained in a toroidal plenum. The resulting gas distribution outside the valve contains up to 10/sup 19/H/sub 2/ molecules and has a high degree of toroidal symmetry.
