This SAND report covers the work performed under the "Creating the foundation of next-generation pulsed-power-accelerator technology" LDRD. This foundation consists of both foundational concepts and foundational components. Advances were made at both levels, with new machine concepts such as Thor and new machine components such has arc quenching charge resistors, laying a new foundation for pulsed power work at Sandia. This report attempts to summarize the numerous advances made at both of these levels under this LDRD over the last three years.
