RECENT PROGRESSES IN PULSED POWER RESEARCHES AT INSTITUTE OF FLUID PHYSICS

摘要

Pulsed power researches such as development of linear induction accelerator, development of facility for Z-pinch studies, pulsed X-ray machines, explosive magnetic compression technology, rep-rate pulsed power generation, time resolved diagnostic technologies and so on have been conducted at Institute of Fluid Physics. The newly built Dragon-I facility (20 MeV, 2.5kA, 80 ns), the best quality linear induction accelerator in the world is described. The status of the Primary Test Stand (PTS, 8～10MA, 130ns) for Z-pinch studies being built at IFP is also introduced. The PTS consists of 24 modules based on the Marx generator-water PFL technology. The prototype of single module has been tested successfully. The construction of the PTS is on the way. Other progresses on the rep-rate pulsed power, time resolved diagnostic technologies are presented in the paper.
