Popis: Linear transformer drivers can be used as fast pulsed-power generators to produce and study matter under extreme conditions, with densities larger than 10 times that of solids. While its scientific investigations can start in a laboratory, it will eventually require a source of x rays that can be provided only by specialized light source facilities. When relocation becomes a necessity, a compact, modular design is clearly advantageous. This paper shows how nested transmission lines can reduce considerably the footprint of MA-class pulsed-power generators based on linear transformer driver technology.
