Abstract

We have indigenously developed a twenty-stage vertical structure type Marx generator. At a matched load of 90–100 Ω, for 25 kV DC charging, an output voltage pulse of 230 kV, and duration 150 ns is obtained. This voltage pulse is applied to a relativistic electron beam (REB) planar diode. For a cathodeanode gap of 7.5 mm, an REB having beam voltage 160kV and duration 150ns is obtained. Brass as well as aluminum explosive electron emission-type cathodes have been used
