| Abstract | Summary form only given. Two switch designs were tested in the prototype PFL test bed at L-3 as part of the recently completed IVA design effort for flash radiographic sources in the new Hydrus hydrodynamics research facility at AWE. One design, called the slab switch, was scaled from the Phermex Laser Triggered Gas Switch (LTGS) and the other, called the diaphragm switch, was scaled from the Nike LTGS. Both switches have a single ~8 cm, laser triggered gap pressurized to 150 psig with $SF_{6},$ are 42 inches in diameter, and designed to fit within the same 7-ohm PFL which is nominally charged to 2.5 MV, in 1.5 mus. The PFL and switch were tested up to 3 MV in the prototype facility. Test results for the LTGS performance based on >2730 shots are presented in this paper along with the switch type down-selection that was based on electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing criteria. The performance and reliability test results for the overall PFL are presented separately. The LTGS test results include measurements of jitter, rate of prefire, and the throughput risetime (due to inductance and resistive phase combined). The PFL design was based on a relatively low inductance prediction of between 220 to 240 nH. The effect of laser focal position in the switch gap, flow rate of the continuously flowing $SF_{6},$ gas density, laser power, the mechanical deformation of the switch, and laser optic alignment on the switch jitter, risetime, and arc formation were investigated and are presented. Two dimensional EM simulations of the switch were also performed to estimate the contribution of two dimensional effects on the risetime. Circuit models that match the measured performance are presented. |

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.
