Development of a Pulsed 2 Gigawatt, 5 Kilojoule FEL Source at L-Band

Abstract

This AASERT program was originally under the direction of Prof. J. Paterson in 1999, this program was transferred to Prof Charles Kruger and the focus shifted to "Graduate Research Training on Air Plasma Diagnostics" in the framework of the "Air Plasma Ramparts" MURI research program entitled "Mechanisms of Ionizational Nonequilibrium in Air Plasmas," Two graduate students, Kate Snyder and Jonathan Flad, supported by this program have received training on temporally and spatially resolved Cavity Ring-Down spectroscopy measurements of electron density in a pulsed atmospheric pressure nitrogen plasma. They have contributed also to the ongoing development of CRDS measurements of NO4 concentrations in an air plasma produced with radio-frequency inductively coupled plasma torch.
