Solid-state Marx generator for international linear collider

A high power, long pulse modulator aimed at application to international linear collider (ILC) is being developed. The target parameters are: 120 kV (±0.5%), 140 A, 1.7 ms, and 5 pps, with consideration on compactness, reliability, and cost reduction. A solid state, chopper controlled pulsed power generator using Marx-topology has been proposed. This paper shows the experimental results of the prototype.
