| Abstract | Summary form only given. Cygnus is a radiographic X-ray source developed for support of the Sub-Critical Experiments Program at the Nevada Test Site. Major requirements for this application are: a dramatically reduced spot size as compared to both Government Laboratory and existing commercial alternatives, layout flexibility, and reliability. Cygnus incorporates proven pulsed power technology (Marx Generator, Pulse Forming Line, Water Transmission Line, and Inductive Voltage Adder sub-components) to drive a high voltage vacuum diode. In the case of Cygnus, a relatively new approach (the rod pinch diode) is employed to achieve a small source diameter. Design specifications are: 2.25 MeV peak energy, < 1 min source diameter, and 5-10 rads dose at 1 meter. The pulsed power and system architecture design plan has been previously presented (Weidenheimer et al., 2001). The first set of Cygnus shots are now underway and are geared to verification of electrical parameters and, therefore, use a large area diode configuration offering increased shot rate as compared to that of the rod pinch diode. Later tests incorporate the rod pinch diode and will concentrate on X-ray production with time resolved measurements of X-ray dose and spot size. In this work we present results of initial operation in terms of electrical and radiation parameters. In addition, the issues associated with static and time resolved radiographs may be included. Performance of the pulse power system is being evaluated by comparison of measured to design output parameters. This is accomplished by comparison of multiple voltage and current measurements throughout the system with various circuit model codes such as MicroCAP and T-Line. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
