The RADLAC-II upgrade is correcting pulsed power and beam injection and transport problems to increase the output beam energy and current and to improve beam quality. Initial experiments with a modified pulsed power module and injector are described and results, which agree with predictions, are presented. The pulsed power module generated >2.5 MVstage with >40 ns pulse width and >20 ns flattop. The output from the RADLAC-II injector, using two of these stages, was a 5 MeV, 40 kA, 1 cm radius annular beam with ..beta../sub /perpendicular// = 0.19. Particle code simulations show that the beam which the injector experiments produced will result in a 20 MeV, 40 kA, 1 cm radius beam with total ..beta../sub /perpendicular// < 0.2, when the upgrade is completed. This beam will allow high current conditioning, lead pulse stability, and current scaling experiments to be completed.
