alt= SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORY'S Z ACCELERATOR, A PULSED POWER FACILITY IN OPERATION. A TIME-EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPH OF ELECTRICAL FLASH-OVER ARCS PRODUCED OVER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER IN THE ACCELERATOR TANK AS A BYPRODUCTS OF Z OPERATION. THESE FLASH-OVERS ARE MUCH LIKE STROKES OF LIGHTNING. THE Z PULSED POWER ACCELERATOR AT SANDIA, WHICH BEGAN OPERATING IN SEPTEMBER, 1996, IS THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT LABORATORY X-RAY SOURCE. IT IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE PBFA II ACCELERATOR WHICH WAS USED UNTIL 1996 FOR LIGHT ION FUSION RESEARCH.
Pulsed power is the science and technology of accumulating energy over a relatively long period of time and releasing it instantly, thus increasing the instantaneous power. They can be used in some applications such as food processing, water treatment, weapon, and medical applications.
