Low-inductance gas switches for linear transformer drivers

We are investigating several alternate gas-switch designs for use in linear transformer drivers. To meet linear-transformer-driver (LTD) requirements, these air-insulated switches must be DC charged to 200 kV, be triggerable with a jitter of 5 ns or less, have very low prefire and no-fire rates (∼1...
