Abstract :
The immersed Bz diode is being fielded on one of the AWE Superswarf machines which provides a 55ns, 5.5MV, 35kA electron beam. The external magnetic field, up to 25Tesla, is produced by a solenoid which is driven by a 624juF, 22kV capacitor bank. The magnetic field constrains the electron beam to a small diameter at the target which results in a small x-ray source size.
