Soviet Research and Development of High-Power Gap Switches

Abstract

The report was prepared in the course of a continuing study of Soviet research and development of high-current relativistic charge-particle beams. The material in the report deals with Soviet work on the triggered pressurized gap switch, considered by Soviet specialists to be the most critical element of the high-current electron-accelerator design.
