Transient Field Reversal with a Proton Layer.

Abstract

This report describes a series of experiments that led to the transient field reversal of the applied magnetic field with a proton pulse. The 400-500 KA, 50 nsec duration, 1.7 MeV peak energy hollow proton pulse is generated by an Inverse Reflex Tetrode. After passing through the cusp, the pulse propagates in a uniform field with 1.15 cm/nsec axial velocity, when the applied voltage on the anode is 1MV. (Author)
