Quadrupolar Density Structures in Driven Magnetic Reconnection Experiments with a Guide Field

T. W. O. Varnish, J. Chen, S. Chowdhry +10

Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous process in plasma physics, driving rapid and energetic events such as coronal mass ejections. Reconnection between magnetic fields with arbitr…

A novel, compact and portable 2-LTD-Brick x-pinch radiation source: its development and radiation performance

Roman V Shapovalov

Almost all well-known x-pinch x-ray radiation machines are large, based on a conventional Marx generator, and lack portability. The literature suggests that a current rate of rise…

Two Neutron Correlation Study in Photofission of Actinides

Roman V. Shapovalov

It is well known that two fission fragments (FF's) are emitted essentially back to back in the laboratory frame. That can be used widely in many applications as a unique signature…

A new compact, portable 2-LTD-brick x-pinch driver at the Idaho Accelerator Center: design, fabrication, testing and x-ray performance

Roman V. Shapovalov

We propose to construct a compact and portable x-pinch driver with x-ray radiation performance, comparable to standard x-pinch drivers. Such a new x-pinch driver was recently desig…

The conceptual design of 100-kA pulsed magnetic field generator for magnetized high-energy-density plasma experiments

R. V. Shapovalov, R. B. Spielman, G. Brent +1

This paper presents the conceptual design of a high-voltage pulser intended to generate 30-T magnetic fields for magneto-inertial fusion experiments at the OMEGA facility. The puls…

Mega-ampère to mega-gauss: the generation of intense magnetic fields using fast pulsed-power drivers

P. -A. Gourdain, G. Brent, J. B. Greenly +2

Intense magnetic fields modify the properties of extremely dense matter via complex processes that call for precise measurements in very harsh conditions. This endeavor becomes eve…

High voltage charging system for pulsed power generators

M. Evans, B. Foy, D. Mager +2

A robust and portable power supply has been developed specifically for charging linear transformer drivers, a modern incarnation of fast pulsed power generators. It is capable of g…
