Notes:
A prototype of a new class of thyratrons having a linear geometry is described and measurements of excited state densities in the thyratron plasma using hook method spectroscopy are presented. The linear thyratron is conceptually scalable to high currents by lengthening it in the axial dimension without changing any other critical scaling dimension (such as the cathode-control grid distance). The prototype linear thyratron is a tetrode having a 3 cm×10 cm slotted dispenser cathode with an effective area of 80 cm2. The thyratron has separately switched 25 kV and 10 kA, with a maximum dI/dt of 1.3×1011 A s−1. Using helium as the working gas, maximum excited state densities of 6×1012 cm−3 were measured for the 23P state.
