Description
A new linear induction accelerator named Scorpius is being designed for multi-pulse flash radiography. The solid-state pulsed power system offers a technological breakthrough by delivering multiple independent pulses to accommodate a wide variety of pulse formats. The design provides pulse modulation capabilities which will mitigate reflected waves and reduce voltage variations across a temporal window twice as large as existing multi-pulse radiography accelerators. Successful coupling of the solid-state pulsed power with prototype induction cells has demonstrated these capabilities, and the project will assemble the Scorpius injector with a number of accelerating cells for integrated testing.
