A legacy of the "megagoule committee," thirty years of explosive pulsed power research and development at Los Alamos National Laboratory Open
In 1980, Los Alamos formed the 'Megajoule Committee' with the expressed goal of developing a one Megajoule plasma radiation source. The ensuing research and development has given rise to a wide variety of high explosive pulsed power accomp…

Renewed experimentation with Ranchero flux compression genereators Open
In the late 1990s, Los Alamos pursued a coaxial flux compression generator (FCG) concept that was described in several publications under the name 'Ranchero.' These FCGs were designed to be cost effective high current generators, and a var…

A study of explosively formed fuse (EFF) opening switch resistance Open
Many pulsed power experiments need pulse shaping to optimize the power flow from a flux compression generator (FCG) to an experimental load. In a laboratory environment this can be a simple task where the switches are not destroyed. Howeve…

Status of LDRD-DR 20070518 development of a magnetically driven target for thermo-nuclear burn studies (u) Open
This project is developing a magnetically driven cylindrical confinement system for the creation of a small region of material existing under extreme conditions. Using a Ranchero High Explosive Pulsed Power generator (HEPP) with maximum cu…

Explosive pulsed power system for new radiation sources. Open
High explosive pulsed power (HEPP) systems are capable of accessing very high energy densities and can reach conditions that are not possible with capacitor bank systems. The Procyon system was developed and used for experiments over a per…
