Abstract :
In this rectifier high-speed silicon diodes, etched circuit boards, and SF6 are combined in a style of construction that requires only the modest shop facilities of any typical small physics laboratory. This paper covers construction techniques, performance tests, electronic regulation, high-speed protection circuitry, and application of the rectifier to experimental equipment. The technique described can be extended to larger sizes providing several million volts.
