TL;DR: Sandia is actively pursuing the development of new accelerators based on the new technology of the Linear Transformer Driver (LTD), and is preparing a new LTD laboratory to house the 10, 1-MA, 100-kV LTD cavities recently constructed and received from the HCEI, Tomsk, Russia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy and feedthrough in magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
TL;DR: In general, it is found that MRT retains robust growth if it exists, however, feedthrough may be substantially reduced if there are magnetic fields on both sides of the slab, and if the MRT mode invokes bending of the magnetic field lines.

MAIZE: a 1 MA LTD‐Driven Z‐Pinch at The University of Michigan
Ronald M. Gilgenbach,Matthew R. Gomez,J. C. Zier,Wilkin Tang,David M. French,Y. Y. Lau,Michael G. Mazarakis,M. E. Cuneo,Mark D. Johnston,Bryan V. Oliver,Thomas Alan Mehlhorn,A.A. Kim,V.A. Sinebryukhov +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 1 MA, 100 kV pulse with 100 ns risetime into a matched resistive load was tested at the Michigan Accelerator for Inductive Zpinch Experiments (MAIZE) at the University of Michigan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Priming at the Cathode of a Relativistic Magnetron
Brad W. Hoff,Ronald M. Gilgenbach,Nicholas M. Jordan,Yue Ying Lau,Edward Cruz,David M. French,Matthew R. Gomez,J. C. Zier,Thomas A. Spencer,David Price +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, magnetic priming at the cathode of a relativistic magnetron was used to increase the percentage of pi-mode shots by 15% over the baseline case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor experiments on a MegaAmpere linear transformer driver
J. C. Zier,J. C. Zier,Ronald M. Gilgenbach,D.A. Chalenski,Yue Ying Lau,David M. French,Matthew R. Gomez,Matthew R. Gomez,Sonal Patel,Ian M. Rittersdorf,Adam Steiner,Matthew Weis,Peng Zhang,M. Mazarakis,M. E. Cuneo,M. R. Lopez +15 more
TL;DR: Experiments have been performed on a nominal 100 ns rise time, MegaAmpere (MA)-class linear transformer driver to explore the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability in planar geometry as mentioned in this paper.
