Shock mitigation for the PFLs at the SATURN accelerator
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States). AGT Accelerator Operations Dept.
Accelerometer measurements were made on the SATURN pulse forming lines (PFL) to determine the mechanism responsible for severe metal deformation around the water switch openings and cracking of welded seams. A reason for this problem and a solution were established. A simple shock mitigating pad under the support stand for the PFL provides more than adequate protection from shock damage and will greatly extend the useful life of the power flow sections of SATURN.
