28-nm laser damage testing of LIF

Description: We have tested several samples of LIF, both single crystal and press forged, for damage resistance to 10-ns 248-nm pulses at 35 pps. The damage thresholds - the highest levels at which no damage could be produced - ranged from 4 to 6 J/cm/sup 2/ although some test sites survived irradiation at approx. 30 J/cm/sup 2/. We observed that bulk damage is the primary failure mechanism in single crystal and press forged samples and that both types exhibit the same resistance to laser damage.

30-kV Proton Injector for PIGMI

Description: A 30-kV proton injector designed for matching a 31-mA proton beam into the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) section of the PIGMI accelerator has been constructed and tested. This injector uses a small efficient duoplasmatron ion source and a single-gap extraction system for creating a convergent ion beam, and a three-element unipotential einzel lens for focusing the ion beam into the RFQ. A description of this prototype injector is presented, along with the experimental data obtained during the… more

30-MJ SMES system operating experience: November 1982-June 1983

Description: This paper describes performance measurements on the dewar, coil, and cryogenic system for the 30-MJ superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit that has recently been tested at a Bonneville Power Administration substation in Tacoma, Washington. The cryostat, the world's largest fiber-reinforced plastic, open-mouthed dewar, boils off 12 l/h in accordance with previous calculations. Cyclic losses in the coil, 54 W for +-8.4-MW modulation at 1 Hz, are approximately 50% greater than calcul… more

30-MJ Superconducting Magnetic-Energy-Storage Stabilizing System: An Overview

Description: The 30-MJ superconducting magnetic-energy-storage (SMES) system was devised as an alternate means to modulate the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Pacific AC Intertie, a part of the Western US Power System, to prevent undamped power oscillations at 0.35 Hz that were observed to be associated with high power transmission. The SMES system was installed at the BPA Tacoma Substation and successfully operated as an experimental device to initiate tests to determine power system dynamics, to inv… more

60 GHz, 200 kW CW gyrotron with high output mode purity

Description: For the first time, a Varian 60 GHz gyrotron, designed specifically to generate microwaves in a single output mode, has been operated at power levels up to 200 kW CW. High output mode purity is required for the efficient utilization of gyrotrons as high power microwave sources for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) in magnetic fusion plasmas. Using mode-specific directional couplers, measurements of the output mode content indicated that greater than 95% of the microwave output was in … more
