A Disk EMG System for Driving Impacting Liners to ~ 20 km/s

Abstract

We consider an ALT-1,2-like [1,2] system to deliver up to 60-70 MA currents in the liner load and accelerate ~20 g/cm cylindrical liners to ~20 km/s (ALT-1,2: ~31 MA, ~13 g/cm, ~12 km/s). The system is intended for the ALT-3 experiment to test the efficiency of magnetic implosion of impacting liners and to verify the possibility of shock-wave measurements at up to 1 TPa pressures. We describe the physical configuration of the system and its diagnostic suite, which differ significantly from similar systems [3,4]. As compared with [4], changes are made to the physical configuration of individual system units and a number of system parameters: we increase load inductance by a factor of 1.5, use a different transmission line and an Al liner (instead of envisaged two-layer liners) etc. Simulated characteristics of the system are presented.
