在过去的15年里，双鹰一直是一个可靠的用户辐射设施。它主要是一个2-mV、4-mA、85-ns脉冲发生器，用于驱动PRS或二极管负载。它可以工作在正负极性的短脉冲和长脉冲模式下，以满足辐射前端负载的要求。在负的短脉冲模式下，发生器以大约85 ns的脉冲宽度向PRS负载输出4 mA以上的电流，而在长脉冲模式下，发生器以180 ns的脉冲宽度输出相同的电流。在正向短脉冲模式下，Double-Eagle向反射二极管提供多毫安电流和2 mV电压，以供用户辐射。我们通过改进水开关和触发气体开关的操作，大大提高了双鹰的可靠性。现在，两个Eagle模块之间的同步好于10 ns，机器可以持续运行。我们介绍了双鹰设施的运行数据和能力。
Double-EAGLE has been serving as a reliable user radiation facility for the past 15 years. It is primarily a 2-MV, 4-MA, 85-ns pulse generator driving PRS or diode loads. It can be operated in short- and long-pulse modes for both positive and negative polarities to meet the requirements of the radiation front-end load. In the negative, short pulse mode, the generator delivers more than 4 MA current to the PRS load with a pulsewidth of about 85 ns, and in the long pulse mode, the generator delivers the same amount of current with a pulsewidth of 180 ns. In the positive short pulse mode, Double-EAGLE delivers multi-MA currents and 2 MV voltage into reflex diodes for user radiation. We have made substantial improvements in the reliability of Double-EAGLE by improving the operation of the water switches and the triggered gas switches. The machine can now operate consistently with better than 10 ns synchronization between the two EAGLE modules. We present the Double-EAGLE facility operation data and capability.
