Multicavity linear transformer driver facility for $Z$ -pinch and high-power microwave research

Journal Article Sporer, B.; Shah, A.; Dowhan, G.; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

BLUE is a four-cavity linear transformer driver system in the Plasma, Pulsed Power, and Microwave Laboratory at the University of Michigan. Each BLUE cavity can store up to 2 kJ of electrical energy and provide an open-circuit voltage of 200 kV when using the maximum bipolar charge voltage of ±100 kV. The impedance of each cavity is approximately 0.5 Ω, and the rise time of the current pulse into a reasonably matched load is ~100 ns. The system will be used to study high-energy-density Z-pinch plasmas and high-power radiation sources. The facility has been equipped to handle intense bursts ofmore »« less

MA-class linear transformer driver for $Z$ -pinch research

Journal Article Conti, F.; Valenzuela, J.; Fadeev, V.; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

A linear transformer driver (LTD) generator capable of delivering up to 0.9 MA current pulses with 160 ns rise time has been assembled and commissioned at University of California San Diego. The machine is an upgrade of the LTD-III pulser from Sandia National Laboratories, consisting of 40 capacitors and 20 spark gap switches, arranged in a 20-brick configuration. The driver was modified with the addition of a new trigger system, active premagnetization of the inductive cores, a vacuum chamber with multiple diagnostic ports, and a vacuum power feed to couple the driver to plasma loads. The new machine is calledmore »« less

Study of instability formation and EUV emission in thin liners driven with a compact 250 kA, 150 ns linear transformer driver

Journal Article Collins, G.; Mariscal, D.; Beg, F.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A compact linear transformer driver, capable of producing 250 kA in 150 ns, was used to study instability formation on the surface of thin liners. In the experiments, two different materials, Cu and Ni, were used to study the effect of the liner's resistivity on formation and evolution of the instabilities. The dimensions of the liners used were 7 mm height, 1 mm radius, and 3 μm thickness. Laser probing and time resolved extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imaging were implemented to diagnose instability formation and growth. Time-integrated EUV spectroscopy was used to study plasma temperature and density. A constant expansion rate for the liners was observed,more »« less
