Abstract

An assembly designed to accelerate deuterons to about 10 kev by means of a radially converging magnetic piston has been constructed and tested. The assembly operates with 300 kv on the energy storage condenser, the ringing frequency is 18 Mc, and present operation uses hydrogen gas at 50 μ. Both slow and fast pinches have been observed, the former being possibly thermal shock waves, and the latter possibly being associated with inward motion of the plasma sheath.
