IFELS Program

Abstract

The FELS (Free Electron Laser Simulation) program was conducted at Battelle, Columbus Division, using a modified Nd glass laser to obtain -experimental data on the interaction of a FEL with composite materials. A simultaneous effort at PSI was directed toward the development of a basis for .. understanding the performance of these materials and the extrapolation of the -data to the full scale scenario. The conclusions of this study (Simons et al., (1989) suggested continued data analysis and model development to be completed on an interim study (IFELS) prior to continued experimental work on the advanced FELS (AFELS) program. This report documents the results of the IFELS study at Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) .
