"Revisiting Power Flow and Pulse-Shortening in a Relativistic Magnetron"by John G. Leopold, Anatoli S. Shlapakovski, Arkady Sayapin and Yakov E. Krasik The behavior of a six-vane relativistic magnetron with a single radial output slot has been studied in detail by 3-D particle in cell simulations. It is found that a delicate power imbalance caused by the pulsed-power generator and magnetron impedance mismatch is responsible for the shortening of the radiated power pulse. Pulse shortening can be avoided completely, and the radiated power can be considerably increased by decreasing the emitted current when it is too large to be sustainable. more... | ||

"First Lasing from a High Power Cylindrical Grating Smith-Purcell Device"by Hans P. Bluem, Robert H. Jackson, Jr., Jonathan D. Jarvis, Alan M. M. Todd, Jacques Gardelle, Patrick Modin, and John T. Donohue Over the past year, a collaborative effort between Advanced Energy Systems and Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique/Centre d'Etudes Scientifiques et Techniques d'Aquitaine has achieved the first lasing of a cylindrical Smith-Purcell freeelectron laser (CSPFEL). These proof-of-principle experiments employed an 80-keV 45-A 200-ns full-width at half-maximum thin annular electron beam propagating just above a cylindrical grating. The interaction of the beam with the evanescent grating mode resulted in strong beam bunching and generation of highpower millimeter-wave radiation. more... | ||

"Effects of optical pulse parameters on a pulsed UV-illuminated switch and their adjusting methods"by Junna Li, Weiqing Chen, Zhiqiang Chen, Junping Tang, Wei Jia, Fan Guo, Tian Yang, Aici Qiu, Junping Zhao and Qiaogen Zhang Ultraviolet (UV) illumination can effectively shorten the statistical lag and jitter in gas breakdown processes. The spark gap discharge can produce abundant spectrum including UV waveband. In this paper, a simple but reliable spark gap operating with N2 at atmospheric pressure is used to test optical radiation characteristics, such as spectrum intensity, rise time, fall time, and duration of optical pulse, which are adjusted by changing the circuit or configuration parameters. more... | ||

"The Space Weather Threat to Situational Awareness, Communications, and Positioning Systems"by Dale C. Ferguson, Simon Peter Worden and Daniel E. Hastings A recent space weather headline has cast doubt in the minds of some as to whether space weather is the source of spacecraft anomalies, and thus, whether it is important in the design and operation of critical situational awareness, communications, and positioning systems. In this paper, we reiterate the evidence for the importance of space weather, its role in producing spacecraft and ground anomalies, and the threat it poses to critical systems. more... | ||

"Development of an In-Orbit High-Voltage Experimental Platform: HORYU-4"by Tatsuo Shimizu, Hiroshi Fukuda, Kazuhiro Toyoda and Mengu Cho HORYU-4 is a 12-kg satellite currently under development at the Kyushu Institute of Technology. Its main mission is to perform an in-orbit high-voltage technology demonstration to evaluate state-of-the-art arc mitigation technologies in real space environments. The main objective is to perform a similar experiment as those on the ground for the validation of existing test methods. more... | ||
