Abstract
The object of this study is development of an ultra small shock tube for a high energy molecular beam source. First we evaluated a current loop valve for non diaphragm shock tube. As a result, we achieved the sufficient performance. Then we manufactured a shock tube using the current loop valve and evaluated it. The shock speed reached to mach number 5.1. From this mach number, we can estimate the translational energy becomes 1.1 eV. Finally, we evaluated the shock tube for molecular beam source by measuring the time-of-flight distribution. The translational energy of the shock-heated beam exceeded that of non heated molecular beam.
