Design and fabrication of a radially-fed implosion heating coil

A radially-fed implosion heating coil has been designed and fabricated at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The M arshall coil is a copper-plate-on-epoxy-substrate coil designed to utilize up to 200- kV to produce a 1-T magnetic field in a 20-cm bore with a risetime of no more than 250-ns. The design and fabrication process of this coil and the design of the high-voltage stand for the Marshall coil are discussed.
