Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical modeling and experimental characterization of a rod-pinch diode
G. Cooperstein,J.R. Boller,R.J. Commisso,D.D. Hinshelwood,D. Mosher,P. F. Ottinger,Joseph W. Schumer,S.J. Stephanakis,S.B. Swanekamp,B.V. Weber,F. C. Young +10 more
TL;DR: The rod-pinch diode as discussed by the authors consists of an annular cathode and a small-diameter anode rod that extends through the hole in the cathode, providing a small area, high-yield x-ray source for pulsed radiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Erosion Opening Switch Research at NRL
B.V. Weber,R.J. Commisso,G. Cooperstein,J. M. Grossmann,D.D. Hinshelwood,D. Mosher,Jesse M. Neri,P. F. Ottinger,S.J. Stephanakis +8 more
TL;DR: A review of PEOS research performed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) can be found in this paper, where several experimental and theoretical results are described to illustrate the present level of understanding and the best switching results obtained to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of Enhanced Stopping of 1-MeV Deuterons in Target-Ablation Plasmas
TL;DR: The scaling of enhanced stopping with target ionization is consistent with stopping by free electrons and the remaining bound electrons as discussed by the authors, and measured energy losses for Mylar and aluminum targets are also in agreement with hydrocode calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
X radiation from high-energy density exploded wire discharges
TL;DR: In this article, a calibrated LiF crystal spectrograph recorded the radiation spectrum in the 3 − to 25 − kV range by exploding wire discharges of tungsten and titanium driven by a high power pulse generator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of Intense Proton Beams in Pinched-Electron-Beam Diodes
TL;DR: A polarity-reversed 10/sup 12/-W relativistic-electron-beam generator operating in the self-pinched mode is used to produce and propagate intense proton beams.
