| Abstract | Summary form only given. The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories is presently undergoing an upgrade, called Z-Refurbishment (ZR), that is aimed at improving capacity, precision, and capability to nearly all of its pulsed power components, including its thirty six laser-triggered gas switches (LTGS). Voltage and current requirements for the ZR LTGS have increased 25% from the onset of the ZR program, with no allowable increase to the physical footprint (or inductance) for the device. Initial design studies indicated that a total machine peak current of 26 MA could be achieved with each LTGS operating at 5 MV and 600 kA. Increases in the final design inductance in the transition from vertical water transmission lines to horizontal magnetically insulated transmission lines, higher inductance in vacuum from changes in the load position for improved diagnostic access, and conservatism in the vacuum power How requirements caused the LTGS operations goals to become 6.25 MV and 750 kA for a total machine peak current of 26 MA. Tests of the proposed switch design at 5 MV with a resistive load demonstrated jitter (<4 ns), voltage precision (range 0.05 -1.5 percent), and lifetime (mean 220 shots), which were all within the initial ZR design goals. The prefire rate was 1.2% which was substantially higher than desired for ZR. Subsequent tests on a single ZR engineering module as the operating voltage increased resulted in random housing flashovers, difficulties in consistently triggering the switch and even higher prefire rate. This paper summarizes LTGS design changes and new cleaning/assembly protocols that were developed to meet evolving ZR goals. Performance of LTGS at 5.2 MV and 6.1 MV on the engineering module are discussed. The data are utilized to project performance on ZR. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
