Multi-megagauss field-generation using capacitor banks

摘要

Design of a high-field (6 MG) production experiment on the Pegasus capacitor bank is presented. One and two dimensions MHD simulations are benchmarked against Alikhanov's previous experiments and used to support the design for the Pegasus experiment. Possible extensions to the Atlas facility, where production of 20 Mg fields may be possible, are also discussed.
