Abstract
Many accelerators at Sandia National Laboratories utilize the Rimfire gas switch for high voltage, high power switching. In addition, there are many multichannel closing switches used in pulsed power applications. This paper presents a brief overview of a study of the multichanneling section of the Rimfire switch. The effects of multichanneling and a method to force multichanneling are presented.
