Year: 2006 | Conference Paper |
The largest X-ray generating facility in the world (~1.8 MJ), the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), is presently undergoing a major upgrade. Upon completion of its refurbishment, ZR is expected to deliver an output current of 26 MA to a standard 20 mm by 40 mm diameter Z-pinch load with a 100-ns implosion time. In addition to nearly doubling the output energy and providing a useful ...Show More

In the mid-90's, breakthroughs were achieved at Sandia with z-pinches for high energy density physics on the Saturn machine. These initial tests led to the modification of the PBFA II machine to provide high currents rather than the high voltage it was initially designed for. The success of z-pinch for high energy density physics experiments insured a new mission for the converted accelerator, kno...Show More

Sandia's Z accelerator completed original construction in 1985 as PBFA II. The center portion was modified in 1996, converting from a high voltage to a high current configuration to drive z-pinch loads. The environments created have enabled critical experiments that address many Stockpile Stewardship Program (SSP) and High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) program needs. Z has since grown into a multi...Show More

In August of 1998, the Z facility leaked approximately 150 gallons of deionized water into the dielectric oil of its energy storage section (ESS). After processing the oil to remove existing particulate and free water, the dielectric breakdown strength increased from the mid 20 kV range to values in excess of 40 kV. 40 kV is above historical operating levels of about 35 kV. This, however, was not ...Show More

The US Department of Energy has supported a substantial research program in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) since the early 1970s. Over the ensuing 25 years, pulsed power approaches to inertial fusion have remained of interest primarily because of the high energy, efficiency, and relatively low cost of the technology when compared to the mainline ICF approach involving large glass lasers. These ...Show More

Advances in ion beam theory, diagnostics, and experiments in the past two years have enabled efficient generation of intense proton beams on PBFA II, and focusing of the beam power to 5.4 TW/cm2 on a 6-mm-diameter target. Target experiments have been started with the intense proton beams, since the range of protons at 4–5 MeV is equivalent to that of lithium at 30 MeV. Three series of experiments ...Show More

A summary of recent progress and the present status of the PBFA-II (Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II) light-ion beam fusion program is given. An analytic theory of applied-B ion diodes has been developed that correctly predicts the diode operating points at peak power, and there is agreement between simulations and experiment for the ion beam transport to the diode axis. The anode plasma has be...
