(DURIP 97) Vacuum Equipment for Ultra High Power Microwave Experiments

Abstract

The high vacuum insulator system we obtained did not eliminate the pulse shortening previously observed. However we did eliminate the pulse shortening, albeit with serendipity leading the way. In this case we found no pulse shortening even at 85 MW with poor vacuum. It is worth special note that the 85 MW was achieved at an rf conversion efficiency of 55%. we will now push this limit until we do get shortening and then try again.
