| Abstract | Summary form only given. A new design for a 1 MA pulsed power supply to drive a z-pinch is being developed in Oxford. The new design avoids the use of very high voltage Marx generators and water pulse forming lines that are usually used in such designs. It should also be far more reliable and capable of a much higher repetition rate, particularly if the z-pinch channel is preionised using a laser instead of using wires. Thus such a generator would be ideal as a driver for relatively small z-pinches that could act as, for example, a high intensity soft X-ray source. The basic idea is to use many very low impedance pulse forming lines or networks, connected in parallel/series combinations that are DC charged and switched simultaneously on to the z-pinch load. The lines/networks are constructed using either specially shaped tiles of barium titanate ceramics or by using conventional HV ceramic capacitors mounted in such a way as to generate quite square pulses at impedances down to 1Omega or below. This paper will describe the preliminary' tests on a PFN built using 13, 60 kV ceramic capacitors (C = 4 nF). The line impedance is just 0.8 Omega. It has been found that, provided there is sufficient difference in the inductance on either side of the network connections, it will behave as a pulse forming network and produce pulse rise-times of 30 ns with a pulse width of 200 ns or more. At a 50 kV charge such lines will deliver 50 kA into a short circuit so that 20 such lines operating in parallel can deliver the 1 MA required. It is, of course, very important that each line is switched virtually simultaneously and the results of work exploring this issue will be included. So far it has teen possible to synchronise the switch firing jitter to 20 ns without the need to use optical coupling or other techniques to aid the synchronization. Finally the design and testing of a 4 line cross device will be discussed which is a preliminary test generator that is being built prior to construction of a 20 line, 1 MA generator. |

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.
