Preliminary design of a 100 Hz, 350 kV short pulse generator

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7307769

This report describes a 350 kV pulser designed to generate 100 ns square pulses with 300 joules total energy at a pulse repetition frequency of 100 per second. This design incorporates a transformer charged helical coaxial pulse forming line. The considerations leading to this design are presented together with results from prototype experiments. The pulser which is presently in the construction and testing phase is described in detail. The pulser will be used for electron beam acceleration.
