Design and Characterization of a Coaxial Plasma Railgun for Jet Collision Experiments
… vacuum port and operated using a 90 kA, 11 kV LC pulse forming network. Existing knowledge of coaxial railgun plasma instabilities and material interactions at vacuum and plasma interfaces are applied to the design. The design of individual gun components is detailed. Jet velocity and density are …

Design and Implementation of High Efficiency, High Power Density Front-End Converter for High Voltage Capacitor Charger
Pulse power system is widely used for medical, industrial and military applications. The operational principle of the pulse power system is that the energy from the input source is stored in the capacitor bank or superconducting inductive device through a dc-dc converter. Then, when a discharging …
