Abstract
Diode experiments on the PBFA-I pulser using a magnetically insulated ion diode are described. The insulating magnetic field is supplied by self-field due to the ion current plus the field generated by a series field coil. In the experiments described here, the diode operated at the 10-TW, 2.5-MV level with over 300 kJ going to the diode on many shots. The operation of the diode, the dielectric anode, and the proton beam focusing are described.Keywords
