Title: Multi-Pulse DARHT Machine-Plasma Plume Problem

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15014621· OSTI ID:15014621

The plasma current decay time constant is predicted to be short compared to the pulse length and so self-focusing is predicted for most of the beam pulse. Four- pulse beam envelopes for a high dose case require mitigation, those for a low dose case do not. Methods of mitigation are summarized. Hose instability growth in the plume length is predicted to be minimal.
