A high-voltage nanosecond pulse generator for a 2-meter streamer chamber and track spark chambers is described that contains a dual-shaping-line pulsed charge generator based on a stock GIN-500-0.02/5 unit. Transformer oil is used to insulate the main gaps of the charge generator; a pulse with an amplitude of up to 500 kV and a duration of 12.0 nsec is obtained with a matched line load (38 Omega). A pulse with an amplitude of up to 300 kV is obtained at the load when nitrogen is used instead of transformer oil. The generator has operating lives of 10/sup 5/ and 5 x 10/sup 4/ actuations in the former and latter cases, respectively.
