OSTI ID:4127003
The Scylla IV-P theta-pinch device has been designed as a flexible, linear experiment to investigate linear theta-pinch concepts. It is a conventional theta pinch using Scyllac components to energize a 5-m coil. Six hundred 60-kV, 1.85-$mu$F capacitors are used to provide 2 MJ of energy storage which will give a maximum crowbarred field of 55 kG in a smooth 11.2-cm bore coil. The risetime is approximately 3 $mu$s. A 4.5-kJ preionization bank ringing at 0.4 MHz is incorporated. All machine operations are under computer control, using a Prime 300 computer. The computer, the control console, and the diagnostic readouts are located in a screen room immediately adjacent to the machine. The machine was laid out in a 10-capacitor module to facilitate maintenance and make maximum use of the available volume. (auth)
