Rakhee Menon,Amitava Roy,S. K. Singh,Swarupa Mitra,Vishnu L. Sharma,Senthil Kumar,Archana Sharma,K. V. Nagesh,K. C. Mittal,D. P. Chakravarthy +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high power microwave (HPM) generation studies were carried out in KALI-5000 pulse power system with graphite and polymer velvet cathode at various diode voltage, current, and accelerating gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Characterization of Repetitive 1-kJ Marx-Generator-Driven Reflex Triode System for High-Power Microwave Generation
Archana Sharma,Senthil Kumar,S. Mitra,Vishnu Sharma,Ankur Patel,Amitava Roy,Rakhee Menon,K. V. Nagesh,D. P. Chakravarthy +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the design and development of a repetitive Marx generator rated at 1 kJ, 300 kV, 12 kA, and 10 Hz and which is suitable to drive the load directly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission properties of explosive field emission cathodes
TL;DR: In this article, the results of the explosive field emission cathode plasma expansion velocity and the initial emission area in the planar diode configuration with cathodes made of graphite, stainless steel, polymer velvet, carbon coated, and carbon fiber (needle type) cathodes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation and dose distribution measurement of flash x-ray in KALI-5000 system
Rakhee Menon,Amitava Roy,Swarupa Mitra,A.R. Sharma,J. Mondal,K. C. Mittal,K. V. Nagesh,D. P. Chakravarthy +7 more
TL;DR: The high intensity pulsed electron beam of KALI-5000 system is used to develop a flash X-ray source and the axial and the radial dose distribution are characterized using CaSO4: Dy TLDs (thermoluminescent dosimeter) as well as using the optical densitometer to measure the dose distribution of the exposedX-ray film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impedance collapse and beam generation in a high power planar diode
Amitava Roy,Rakhee Menon,S. Mitra,D. Kumar,Senthil Kumar,Archana Sharma,K.C. Mittal,K. V. Nagesh,D. P. Chakravarthy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of a nylon sheet on the anode plate has been studied with respect to the impedance characteristic of the diode, and it was found that the closed diode closes at a faster rate in the presence of nylon sheet.
