Proceedings of the 1997 Particle Accelerator Conference (Cat. No.97CH36167)
Year: 1997 | Conference Paper |
In Proton Radiography, one of the goals is a motion picture of a rapidly moving object. The Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR) in its normal operating mode, delivers a single pulse approximately 120 ns wide (fwhm). In development runs at the PSR, we successfully demonstrated operation of a technique to deliver two pulses, each 40 nsec wide, with adjustable spacing.Show More

Life extension of thyratrons in short-pulse circuits with use of saturable magnetic sharpeners

K. Rust;G. McDuff

IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices
Year: 1991 | Volume: 38, Issue: 4 | Journal Article |
Cited by: Papers (6)
The design of magnetic pulse sharpening circuits for thyratron switching applications is presented. It is useful to add a saturating magnetic switch in series with the tube. Addition of the magnetic device reduces anode dissipation, hence reducing thyratron cooling requirements. The saturating magnetic switch allows the anode voltage to collapse while delaying the forward current, thus reducing th...Show More

Nineteenth IEEE Symposium on Power Modulators
Year: 1990 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (4)
Recent developments in dispenser cathode thyratrons have shifted the dominant life-limiting factor to the anode in high di/dt short-pulse circuits. Calculations and measurements indicate that the addition of a magnetic switch should reduce the anode temperature and the erosion rate. The addition of a saturating magnetic switch has several advantages. First, by reducing the amount of anode dissipat...Show More
