A disk EMG system for driving impacting liners to ∼ 20 km/s

We consider an ALT-1,2-like [1,2] system to deliver up to 60-70 MA currents in the liner load and accelerate ∼20 g/cm cylindrical liners to ∼20 km/s (ALT-1,2: ∼31 MA, ∼13 g/cm, ∼12 km/s). The system is intended for the ALT-3 experiment to test the efficiency of magnetic implosion of impacting liners and to verify the possibility of shock-wave measurements at up to 1 TPa pressures.
