Abstract

The DARHT II accelerator utilizes a fast closing vacuum valve to block x-ray converter target debris from entering the accelerator. An optical scattering diagnostic was developed to measure the arrival time of the debris at the fast valve to verify that the valve closure time is adequate to block the debris.
