Diagnostic Instrumentation

Abstract

The requested image converter camera is a state-of-the-art camera that is able to capture frames as short as 5-to-10 nanoseconds with a resolution of 1,024 x 1,024 pixels. It will be primarily used on an AFOSR-supported research program on explosive driven power generation. It also may be used to enhance research on the SpearTIP program, the ATLAS switch development project, and plasma focus studies. A critical aspect of the author's general research effort is the training of students, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The total request from AFOSR was $160,000, with a matching grant from the Texas Engineering Experiment Station of $30,000. This grant will greatly enhance the Plasma Science/Pulsed Power research capability within the Nuclear Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. The proposed and actual equipment pricing information is presented.
