Abstract :
The improvement in the performance of high energy density capacitors used in pulsed power has accelerated over the past few years. This has resulted from increased research sponsored by the US Army Research Laboratory, in support of the US Military´s needs. The capacitor development effort will be discussed as well as the results of both short term and long term testing of a new generation of high energy density capacitors.
