Feasibility Studies for a Low-Cost Computerized Diagnostic System for Modular Pulsed Electron Accelerators.

Abstract

We have developed a low-cost, nanosecond response diagnostic system for measuring the performance of a pulsed electron accelerator module. The system uses inexpensive sensors hardwired to electronic circuits, which are interfaced to a digital computer. Projections and cost estimates were made for a 300-module system incorporating this diagnostic system. (Author)
