Abstract :
A new driver for fast capillary and ultra-powerful capillary discharge is designed. The designed new apparatus is capable to reach a potential transition to shorter wavelengths. A geometry of its all main parts enables axial access to both capillary ends. The "transparent" capillary distinctly simplifies adjustment, monitoring and subsequent applications of the capillary discharge experiments. As a next free parameter for the new driver the Marx generator has been added as well. The new Marx generator is designed and solved for two types of composing capacitors. Results of two models of the designed driver are presented.
