Positive Polarity Voltage Adder MITL Experiments on HELIA

Abstract

HELIA is a four stage. 4-MV. 250-kA. 30-ns accelerator used to study the design concepts for Hermes Ill. The accelerator consists of eight pulse forming lines (PFLs) that deliver 1-MV. 125-kA pulses to four linear induction cavities. The cavities are in series. and the voltage addition is accomplished in a coaxial self magnetically insulated transmission line (MITL).
