We are pleased to announce that the 2017 Impact Factor for T-PS has increased by 20% and now stands at 1.253![Response: Read Receipt] A Frequency-Tunable V -Band Radial Relativistic Backward-Wave Oscillator by Fuxiang Yang, Xiaoping Zhang In this paper, we propose a novel frequency-tunable V -band radial-line backward-wave oscillator (BWO). It operates in two high-order modes (i.e., TM 02 or TM 03 modes) so as to achieve a high power capacity, the reflector of which can effectively reduce the microwave leakage from the radial slow wave structure (SWS) to the diode region. The SWS is segmented into two sections, which can enhance the interaction between the electron beam and microwaves. The drift tube in between is capable of adjusting the operation frequency. In particle simulations, with the tube length of 6.1 mm, high-power microwaves with a frequency of 60.56 GHz are obtainable and the output power is 1.5 GW. The electron beam voltage is 524 kV and the beam current is 16.27 kA. By simply shrinking the tube to 3.9 mm, the operation frequency is tuned to 78.89 GHz and the microwave power yielded is 586.75 MW. This work validates the feasibility of tuning a radial-line BWO between two high-order modes, which will enlighten the design of other future frequency-tunable high-power microwave sources. more...

Relativistic Charged-Particle Beam Space-Charge Limited Current in Finite Length Coaxial Drift Tube by Tetyana Yatsenko, Gennadii V. Sotnikov, Salvador Portillo, Kostyantyn Ilyenko In the strong axial (guide) magnetic field and uniform beam density approximations, we calculate scalar potential distribution induced by axisymmetric annular relativistic charged-particle beam in a finite-length coaxial drift tube. This scalar potential distribution allows us to find an approximate radial position at which the extremum of the scalar potential is attained in the coaxial drift tube inside the annular relativistic charged-particle beam. By knowing the approximate extremal radial position, we obtain the analytical estimate for the space-charge limited (SCL) current of axisymmetric annular (finite thickness) relativistic charged-particle beam propagating in strong axial magnetic field in a finite length coaxial drift tube and establish a simple correspondence of this result to that in a long coaxial drift tube. A comparison of numerical nonlinear calculations and the analytical estimate for the SCL current in the finite-length coaxial drift tube is also given. more...

Characteristics of Ar K- and L-Shell Radiations in the Divergent Gas-Puff Z -Pinch and the Application to Contact Photography by Keiichi Takasugi, Mineyuki Nishio Ar divergent gas-puff Z -pinch discharge with reversed polarity was performed. Spectroscopic and spatial properties of K-shell and L-shell radiations emitted from highly ionized Ar ions were investigated. It was confirmed that L-shell radiation was spreading in the axial direction, whereas K-shell radiation was emitted from a small spot. The spot size of K-shell radiation was measured, and the diameter of the spot was 34±9 μm . Small creatures were observed using the K-shell radiation emitted from the spot. Repetitive and intense point radiation source with limited spectrum was realized by the divergent gas-puff Z -pinch. more...

Brief History of the EML Symposia: 1980-2018 by Ian R. McNab Following the pioneering research studies by individual inventors and teams from the 1840s to the 1960s on various aspects of electromagnetic launch using railguns, coilguns, and linear motors, there has been an explosion of interest since the 1970s. Much of this growth has been discussed at the International Electro-Magnetic Launcher Symposia that have taken place approximately every two years from 1980 to 2018. A brief description and a summary of the early work of pioneers in this field as well as the symposia is provided here. Selected papers from the symposia have been archived in the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics and the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science. more...

Multishot Damage of Insulator in a Medium-Caliber and High Linear Current Density Launcher by Weikang Zhao, Rong Xu, Youjun Kong, Weiqun Yuan, Ping Yan As an important part of pulsed high-current launcher, insulator takes the functions of electrical insulation and support. Surveys were conducted after multishot to analysis matrix damage and insulation performance of insulator based on a medium-caliber and high linear current density launcher. Mechanical damage of matrix is mainly related to local current. The most serious damage located at zone of flattop and initial decline stage. In addition, serious damage may be caused by sprayed molten aluminum rather than high-temperature plasma. Metal contamination is dominated by local current and contact condition of rail–armature. There are more metal deposits on surface of high current and high muzzle voltage zones, and corresponding flashover voltages decrease significantly. Considering the effect of different damage forms and the operation conditions, the main damage form is matrix ablation located at the contact position of rail–insulator rather than the degradation of electrical insulation. Moreover, the main damage form of bore insulators is different for variety of caliber and linear current density launchers. Insulation damage may be considered mainly in small-caliber and low linear current density launcher, while mechanical damage may be considered mainly in large-caliber launcher and high linear current density launcher. more...
