Executive Summary
This 1989 technical report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory details initial experiments on the Ring Acceleration Experiment (RACE) device involving the production of soft x-rays through the stagnation of magnetically confined plasma rings. Researchers observed that the resulting photon fluences and output time scales were consistent with theoretical modeling and LASNEX simulations. The findings support the feasibility of using compact torus accelerators as high-power density drivers for applications such as nuclear weapons effects simulation.
