CESZAR is a 20-brick Linear Transformer Driver (LTD) cavity that produces ~0.8 MA current with a rise time of 200 ns into a low inductance load. The cavity was extensively tested at Sandia National Laboratories. The generator is fully operational with multiple diagnostics including two four frame XUV cameras, laser interferometer, and high resolution optical, EUV and X-ray spectrometers. Optical Thomson scattering diagnostics will be available by the end of the year.
Multiple gas puff liners: The facility supports experiments with multiple liners for x-ray and neutron generation. The unique feature of this capability is that liners can be injected at varying times to achieve highly efficient performance.
Shot rate: The CESZAR can do up to 15 shots per day to provide an ample of data in one week or two weeks run.
Magnetic field measurements: Zeeman polarization spectroscopy is available for magnetic field measurement.
Neutron diagnostics: Multiple neutron time of flight neutron detectors and activation counters are available for a detailed neutron emission analysis.
