Saturn Accelerator
|
The Saturn accelerator is a modular, high-power,
variable-spectrum, x-ray simulation source. Saturn can
be operated with two different bremsstrahlung diodes or
any one of several plasma radiation sources. The diodes
and sources provide x-ray radiation environments with
enhanced simulation fidelity based on fast rise time, short
pulse duration, and tailored spectral content. Saturn is
used to simulate the radiation effects of nuclear
countermeasures on electronic and material components,
as a pulsed-power and radiation source, and as a
diagnostic test bed.
