HADES ramp-up

ORAL

Abstract



The High Amperage Driver for Extreme States, HADES, is a multi-cavity pulsed-power driver based on linear transformer driver technology. Designed as a compact machine, HADES uses current-adding transmission lines to combine 2x600kA in less than 250 ns via a post-hole assembly. We are presenting here initial experiments aiming at validating the current-adding transmission line technology and characterizing the current rise time of the machine in such a geometry.
