Abstrakt: OEDIPE is a compact 950 kA 1.2 µs rise time Linear Transformer Driver generator used as a test-bed for the higher current SPHINX machine. Tungsten conical wire array experiments have been performed on this test-bed in order to produce plasma jets relevant to laboratory astrophysics experiments. Initial experiments have demonstrated that jets produced on a microsecond time-scale reach up to 10 cm length and last over the entire duration of the current discharge. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
