Surface Studies of Electrodes Used in Spark
Protrusions on the surfaces of electrodes used in high voltage spark gaps lead to local field enhancements, which lower the self-breakdown voltage of the spark gap. Stainless steel, brass, and copper-tungsten electrodes have been tested in a 5-30 kV, 4-25 kA, .1.6 Caul/shot, unipolar, pulsed spark gap with N2 gas or air. The heights and bases of variously shaped protrusions on the surfaces of t...
متن کاملThe Study of Breakdown Voltages for Triggered Spark Gap Switches
This study explains the breakdown mechanism in different triggered spark gap switches. Two different trigger electrode configurations are tested for the switch predischarge operation in a nitrogen laser circuit. The behavior of the breakdown voltage, when a trigger pulse is applied to the trigger electrode, is investigated, and the results are reported. Based on the experimental measurements ne...
متن کاملConductivity and charge depletion aging of resistive electrodes for high rate RPCs
Development of new electrodes is the key element for the improvement of the high rate Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC). In the particular case of resistive electrodes, the fabrication of these devices is a challenging problem from a material science point of view. The combination of resistivity, permittivity and stability requirements is really hard to satisfy for any known material. Respecting t...
متن کاملHigh Repetition Rate X-ray Preionization Source
discharges. These photons can be generated by stopping 7OkeV electrons by a target made of high z material like tungsten or tantalum. In this contribution we describe the performance of an X-ray generator employing a corona plasma cathode [1]. Electrons can easily be extracted from a plasma on the surface of a dielectric. The plasma is generated by accelerating electrons, emitted from sharp edg...
متن کاملMicromachining with a High Repetition Rate Femtosecond Fiber Laser
Industrial micromachining applications with ultrashort pulse lasers are often difficult to make practical due to the lack of robustness of the laser and the slow processing speed resulting from the low repetition rate. In the past, amplified, femtosecond lasers produced high pulse energies, but at a slow pulse repetition rate of around a kHz. The high repetition rate oscillators did not have en...
