Capabilities of the Febetron

Under Construction

We fired the Febetron with the Aqueous Resistive Load installed, and recorded the pulse form by connecting a digitized oscilloscope to the Pulsar Voltage Monitor of the Febetron. The scope has a sampling rate of 300 MHz.

Here is the results that we got:

1. This is the output waveform at a charging voltage of 16kV.

2. This is a "self-fire" pulse at the same air pressure as in (1). It fires at 16.5kV.

3. This is the output waveform at a charging voltage of 18kV.

4. This is again a "self-fire" pulse. The pressure in the module column is kept the same as in (3). It fires at 19kV.
