Frequency plasma opening switches and their application in the technology of high-power accelerators

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The main results reported here were obtained in a cycle of studies on plasma opening switches (POSs) and their application in frequency-pulse accelerators; those studies were carried out at the Russian Research Center, Kurchatov Institute from 1986 to 1997. That research was the basis for the development of frequency-pulse generators based on POS technology for quasi-constant generation of an electron beam and bremsstrahlung radiation. Several generators have been built for use in commercial radiation processing technologies. We give the parameters and basic circuit designs and discuss the prospects for further development of generators using POSs. The competitiveness in comparison with existing accelerating systems is examined.
