Important Concepts in the Assembly and Early Characterization of the PBFA II Accelerator

Abstract

Planning and efficient execution of the assembly and early characterization phases of a large, multi-module superpower generator like PBFA II require development of concepts frequently not found in either the pulsed power R&D community or in the pulsed power industry. To meet the constraints of performance, cost, and schedule of the PBFA II Project, special skills for assembly and characterization of large facilities are being established. These likely will become the technology for activating Sandia's future large accelerators.
