3.1.a Sumário Executivo (em português)

Neste projecto pretende desenvolver-se um novo modulador para 60 kV do alvo do ISOLDE. O separador de massa em tempo
real, ISOLDE, está localizada no “Proton-Synchrotron Booster” (PSB) do C ERN, C entro Europeu para a Pesquisa Nuclear.
A fonte de iões do ISOLDE está ligada a um alvo, flutuante a 60 kV, que é periodicamente bombardeado por um feixe de 1,4
GeV de protões com 2 µA. Os iões produzidos são acelerados por um campo de 60 kV por um eléctrodo de extracção ao
potencial da terra, para a área experimental.
Para existir elevada resolução em massa no separador a jusante é extremamente importante que a tensão de aceleração seja
excepcionalmente estável. O alvo, a fonte de iões e o eléctrodo de extracção estão dentro de um tanque em vácuo onde é
aplicado o potencial de aceleração. O impacto do feixe de protões ioniza intensamente o ar. Esta ionização perturbar a tensão
de aceleração porque representa uma carga adicional para a fonte de alimentação.
Assim, durante o período crítico quando os protões bombardeiam o alvo a tensão de aceleração reduzida a zero. Isto é
aceitável desde que a mesma seja restabelecida no seu valor de 60 kV +/- 1 V em menos de 10 ms, permitindo ainda a
detecção isótopos com tempos de vida média muito curtos. Durante este período o feixe de iões não entra no separador.
O sistema actual do modulador restaura a tensão perto do seu valor nominal em menos de 6 ms. Esta topologia do circuito
satisfaz os constrangimentos de recuperação e estabilidade da tensão.
Mais recentemente, houve necessidade de instalar uma fonte de alimentação contínua negativa de 60 kV para acelerar feixes
de iões negativos. Teste preliminares que decorreram no ISOLDE mostraram que, apesar de a fonte ser estável de acordo com
as especificações, o tempo de recuperação para o regime de estabilidade imposto anda na ordem do 50 ms, longe dos 10 ms.
Somado a isto, a utilização de novas fontes de iões usando alvos denominados de conversão aumentaram a carga vista pela
fonte de alimentação a seguir ao impacto dos protões. C omo resultado, com a máxima intensidade do feixe de iões e alguns
tipos de alvos de conversão o tempo de recuperação excede o imposto. O previsível alargamento da utilização deste tipo de
alvos no futuro bem como o aumento de potência do feixe de protões para o HIE-ISOLDE (ISOLDE com alta intensidade e
energia) vai levar, inevitavelmente, à degradação do desempenho dos moduladores.
C onsiderando isto, está a desenvolver-se uma nova topologia que pode fornecer a estabilidade da tensão desejada para
tensões positivas e negativas, que inclui a fonte de 60 kV e dois interruptores de estado sólido baseados no conceito do gerador
de Marx. Este circuito tem a eficiência elevada e flexibilidade para mudar os parâmetros de funcionamento.
Adicionalmente, este projecto pretende contribuir definitivamente para o crescimento da investigação nas áreas da potência
pulsada, orientada para aplicações que vão até à física nuclear avançada, em Portugal, contribuindo para a formação e treino
de muitos jovens estudantes e cientistas neste campo interdisciplinar através da colaboração com o C ERN, e criando condições
para estabelecer-se uma infra-estrutura suportada para transferência tecnológica para outras aplicações.

No primeiro ano do projecto, e após a definição de um conjunto de requisitos para realização do novo modulador, foi definida
uma topologia de circuito e realizada simulação. Actualmente está-se a montar um protótipo para 10 kV do circuito em Lisboa.
Entretanto, está em fase de aquisição material para construção de um novo protótipo para 30 kV a ser montado no C ERN. Estes
dois circuitos permitem a operação com diferentes condições e materiais (semicondutores e condensadores com tensões
próximas do circuito final). Este trabalho é possível considerando as duas equipas de físicos e engenheiros a trabalhar em
Lisboa e no C ERN. Em ambas são essenciais os dois bolseiros da FC T, em Lisboa, e a bolsa ADI para um engenheiro no C ERN
No terceiro ano do projecto existe a vontade para aumentar a capacidade de trabalho no C ERN, de forma a começar a montar o
modulador para 60 kV, e iniciar as experiências no alvo off-line do ISOLDE, para optimização do circuito.
As topologias de circuitos, baseados no conceito do gerador de Marx com semicondutores, aqui desenvolvidas e aplicadas têm
um potencial enorme para serem aplicadas em diferentes aplicações pulsadas. C onstituindo um dos objectivos deste projecto
poder transferir a tecnologia que está a ser desenvolvida para outras aplicações e instituições.
3.1.b Sumário Executivo (em inglês)
3.1.b Ex ecutive Sum m a ry (in English)
This project aims to develop a new 60 kV ISOLDE voltage target modulator, supported on the progress of semiconductor
technology. The On-Line Isotope Mass Separator ISOLDE is located at the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB) of the European
Organisation for Nuclear Research C ERN.
The ion source of ISOLDE is connected to a thick target, floating at 60 kV, which is periodically bombarded by a 1.4 GeV high
intensity proton beam (up to 2 µA). The produced ions are then accelerated by a grounded extraction electrode to 60 kV, before
transport to the experimental area. The target and ion source must be held at a precise voltage with respect to a grounded
extraction electrode to provide the necessary acceleration. If there is to be high mass resolution in the downstream separator it
is extremely important that there be exceptional stability of this accelerating voltage. The target, ion source and extraction
electrode are in vacuum and the vacuum tank of the target is raised to full accelerating potential. The impacting proton beam
intensively ionises the air. This ionisation perturbs the accelerating voltage because it represents a significant additional load on
the 60 kV power supply.
Hence, during the critical period when protons strike the target the accelerating voltage is decreased to zero. This is acceptable
provided that the stable accelerating voltage of 60 kV +/- 1 V is interrupted for less than 10 ms, so still allowing the detection of
very short life-time radio isotopes. During this period the beam is prevent from entering the separator.
The actual hard-tube switch based modulator restores the voltage close to its nominal value within 6 ms. This circuit topology is
proven to satisfy the voltage recovery time and stability constraints.
However, recent physics requests for negative ion beams have required the installation of a commercial negative 60kV d.c.
power supply. Experiences during two-week negative ion runs have shown that whilst the d.c. stability of the negative power
supply is within specification, the recovery time to the required stability level is of the order of 50ms, well outside the maximum
10ms required.
In addition, recent use of new ion sources using so-called converter targets have substantially increased the resistive loading
seen by the positive power supply immediately following proton beam impact. An observed consequence is that with maximum
beam intensity and certain types of converter targets the recovery time exceeds the maximum required. Increased use of
converter targets is envisaged in the future, as well as, the beam power increase in the future for the HIE-ISOLDE (High
Intensity and Energy ISOLDE) will inevitably lead to degradation of the target modulators performance.
C onsidering this, a new circuit topology that can provide the mandatory stability for the future demands is been developed,
either for negative and positive ion beams, which includes the same 60 kV power supply and two solid-state switches based on
the Marx generator concept. This new circuit has a higher efficiency and flexibility for changing the circuit parameters.
Furthermore, this project aims to definitively contribute to the growth of pulsed power technology research, oriented for
applications such as advanced nuclear physics, in Portugal contributing to the education and training of many young students
and young researchers in this interdisciplinary field through this international collaboration with the C ERN organization, given the
conditions to establish a self supported infrastructure for technology transfer for other applications.
In the first year and a half of the project, a number of requirements for the new modulator were identified. A new circuit
modulator was design and successful simulated. At this moment a 10 kV range circuit prototype is being assembled at Lisbon.
Meanwhile, the material for beginning the assembling of a second intermediate voltage range prototype (30 kV), to be
assembled at C ERN, is being acquired. Allowing the test of different characteristics and materials (semiconductors and
capacitors with a voltage range similar to the final circuit) for the proposed circuit. This is possible considering the two teams of
physics and engineers that are working in Lisbon and at C ERN. In both it is fundamental the two project FC T/grant students that
are in Lisbon and the one AdI student that is at C ERN.
In the third project year we hope to increase the team working effort, in order to start assembling the 60 kV new modulator,
and to begin the experimental tests with the off-line ISOLDE target, for verifying the circuit feasibility.
The design circuit topologies, based on the Marx concepts with solid-state devices, here developed and applied, have a large
potential for being used in different pulsed power application. The transfer of this technology for other applications and
institutions is one of the aims of this project.

The ISOLDE facility provides radioactive ion beams to a number of experimental areas in the fields of nuclear and atomic
physics, solid-state physics, materials science and life sciences. The facility is located at the Proton-Synchrotron Booster (PSB)
of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research C ERN.
The target and ion source must be held at a precise voltage with respect to a grounded extraction electrode to provide the
requisite acceleration, normally 60 kV.
Actually, the circuit topology of the target voltage modulator is based on a custom-built positive high-voltage d.c. power supply
(60 kV) connected, through a pulse transformer and a hard-tube (tyratron), to a resonant circuit such that prior to beam impact
the target is fully discharged to zero by the resonant circuit in about 35µs (to prevent additional load to the power supply),
remains close enough to zero during beam impact, does not over-swing by more than 2.5 kV during recovery and finally, and of
greatest importance, returns to its nominal value +/- 1 V within 6 ms [1] still allowing the detection of very short life-time radio
isotopes.
For positive radioactive beams the acceleration voltage is positive, in this case the actual modulator (based on pulse transformer
and a hard tube switching) has a recovery time less than 10 ms and a good stability afterwards, however for negative beams
the actual modulator recovery time is in the order of 50 ms, being excessive for production a stable beam of very short life-time
radio isotopes.
The Nuclear Physics C enter research team includes expertise in pulsed power technology, namely in repetitive high voltage
modulators bases in semiconductor technology. To our knowledge, today, the only group in Portugal working in the development
of pulsed power technology and applications. Prior to this project, several solid-state based pulsed power modulator topologies
that can be applied to different types of loads (i.e. resistive, capacitive and inductive), using either positive, negative or bipolar
pulses, with potential applications for enhancing a method or a product in the areas on environment, medical, biological and
industry, have been developed [2 - 3]. The group registered, already, two Portuguese patents in the field of solid state pulsed
power, the first one in 2006 [4] and the second one in 2008 [5]. The previous circuits have great potential for application in the
ISOLDE voltage target modulator and other C ERN applications. The circuits are able to generate rectangular positive and/or
negative high-voltage pulses with different frequencies up to tens of kHz, pulse widths and duty cycles. Nevertheless,
optimizations are needed to accomplish the demands impose by characteristics and requirements of the ISOLDE modulator.
The C ERN team, comprising an AdI grant Portuguese engineer for this project, includes the section leader and various members
of the Fast Pulsed Magnets (KPS) Section, from the Beam Transfer (BT) group involved in the PS complex of the Accelerators
and Beams Department (AB). Their expertise and skills, namely, in high-voltage pulse generators are essential for the
construction of the new 60 kV ISOLDE voltage target modulator.
The ISOLDE modulator circuit operation can be regard as a pulsed circuit but with a different approach. In standard pulse
applications, a target is grounded and afterwards during the pulse period a positive or negative high-voltage pulse is applied to
it, during a short period compared to the grounded period, after which the zero voltage is imposed again. However, in the case
of the ISOLDE target, a stable (better than 10E-5) d.c. high-voltage is applied to the target and during some short periods this
voltage is grounded. Meaning that the high voltage duty cycle at the target is much higher than normal.
Many different technologies that can be used to generate negative or negative high voltage pulses. The most widely used circuit
configurations rely on a high-voltage d.c. power supply and a hard-tube switch in series or in parallel with the load and an
energy storing capacitor [6]. Modern hard-tube switching devices are capable of switching megawatts of average power,
although expensive and cumbersome.
Much more convenient, solid state switching devices, like insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and power metal oxide
semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), are still comparatively low voltage devices. For this reason, solid state
modulators only recently have been introduced. To achieve the needed high voltages, several authors have brought different
techniques into practical circuits. Some use series connected semiconductors to directly switch a high-voltage power supply onto
the load [7]. Others use pulse transformers, with primary coils supplied by a parallel association of semiconductor switches and
where the energy is stored at a low voltage level [8]. Recently, a constant flux reset clamp circuit that takes advantage of the
low duty ratio required has reduced the voltage stress on all semiconductor switches [9]. C ascade topologies are also been
used, either with series connected circuits based on resonant pulse transformers [10], or with the cascade (series connected) of
pulse generators isolated with transformers [8].
The Marx generator concept [11], charging capacitors in parallel and discharging them in series into the load (through a number
of switches), provides another widely used method for generating high-voltage pulses, because it requires only a relatively lowvoltage d.c. power supply for charging and does not require pulse transformers to achieve the desired high-voltage.
Recent semiconductor technological upgrades increased the life-time of the circuit and permitted higher pulse repetition
frequency, meaning an improved performance [12 - 17].
In this project two solid-state Marx generator switches are used to increase efficiency and flexibility of the actual modulator.

of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research C ERN.
At ISOLDE, radioactive nuclides are produced via spallation, fission, or fragmentation reactions in a thick target, irradiated with
a proton beam from the PSB at an energy of 1.4 GeV and an intensity up to 2 microA. The target and ion source are fast
physico-chemical devices. The volatile nuclear reaction products are released from the high temperature target into an ion
source via chemically selective processes and are extracted as a radioactive ion beam, which in many cases reaches the highest
intensities available worldwide. Laser ionisation for selected chemical elements allows for further selection and in some cases
can provide a beam prepared in a particular isomeric state. This unique production device is coupled to powerful mass
separators from which are extracted high intensity radioactive beams of high isotopic and often isobaric purity. More than 600
isotopes with half-1ives down to milliseconds of almost 70 elements (Z=2 to 88) have been produced at intensities up to 1011
atoms per mA proton beam.
The target and ion source must be held at a precise voltage with respect to a grounded extraction electrode to provide the
requisite acceleration. If there is to be high mass resolution in the downstream separator it is extremely important that there be
exceptional stability of this accelerating voltage. The target, ion source and extraction electrode are in vacuum and the vacuum
tank of the target is raised to full accelerating potential. The impacting proton beam in the target ionises the air. This ionisation
can perturb the accelerating voltage because it represents a significant additional load on the power supply.
C oncern over this risk and the major problem of voltage stabilisation prompted the proposal that the accelerating voltage should
be modulated to zero for the critical period when protons would be striking the target. Agreement was reached that this would
be acceptable provided that the stable accelerating voltage of 60 kV +/- 1 V would be interrupted for less than 10 ms, so still
allowing the detection of very short life-time radio isotopes. Beam gating would be required to prevent ion beams entering the
separator for the entire period that the accelerating voltage was modulated from its stable value.
Actually, the circuit topology of the target negative voltage modulator is based on a custom-built positive high-voltage d.c.
power supply (60 kV) connected, through a pulse transformer and a hard-tube (tyratron), to a resonant circuit such that prior to
beam impact the target is fully discharged to zero by the resonant circuit in about 35µs, remains close enough to zero during
beam impact, does not over-swing by more than 2.5 kV during recovery and finally, and of greatest importance, returns to its
nominal value +/- 1 V within 6 ms [1]. This circuit topology is proven to satisfy the voltage recovery time and stability
constraints. The target is simulated considering a RC parallel circuit.
For positive radioactive beams the acceleration voltage is positive, in this case the actual modulator (based on pulse transformer
and a hard tube switching) has a recovery time less than 10 ms and a good stability afterwards, however for negative beams
the actual modulator recovery time is in the order of 50 ms, being excessive for production a stable beam of very short life-time
radio isotopes. Also, the actual equivalent model of the target is not accurate and doesn’t allow for precise circuit simulations.
However, recent physics requests for negative ion beams have required the installation of a commercial negative 60kV d.c.
power supply. Experiences during two-week negative ion runs have shown that whilst the d.c. stability of the negative power
supply is within specification, the recovery time to the required stability level is of the order of 50ms, well outside the maximum
10ms required.
In addition, recent use of new ion sources using so-called converter targets have substantially increased the resistive loading
seen by the positive power supply immediately following proton beam impact. An observed consequence is that with maximum
beam intensity and certain types of converter targets the recovery time exceeds the maximum required. Increased use of
converter targets is envisaged in the future, as well as, the beam power increase in the future for the HIE-ISOLDE (High
Intensity and Energy ISOLDE) will inevitably lead to degradation of the target modulators performance.
After the identification of a number of requirements for the new modulator, a new circuit topology was developed and
successfully simulated during the first project year. At this moment, when five months still remain from the end of the second
year project, a 10 kV range circuit prototype is being assembled at Lisbon. C onsidering the complexity of scaling all the
parameters of the circuit from 10 kV do 60 kV, and that some questions are being raised during the construction of the 10 kV
prototype, the research team decided (even before the 10 kV is finish) to start working on a higher voltage intermediate
prototype, about 30 kV, for testing different characteristics and materials (semiconductors and capacitors with a voltage range
similar to the final circuit) for the proposed circuit. The material, including the high voltage semiconductors and capacitors, are
being purchased and we hope to begin the assembling of this new prototype at C ERN by September.
Hence, till the end of the second year two prototypes are being assembled at two different locations, with different voltage
ranges, in order to test different operating conditions. This is possible considering the two teams of physics and engineers that
are working in Lisbon and at C ERN. In both it is fundamental the two project FC T/grant students that are in Lisbon and the one
AdI student that is at C ERN.
The objective of assembling two prototypes is the following:
C onsidering the first prototype, a 10 kV range circuit, with two semiconductor switches, in series and in parallel with the load,
based on ten stages Marx circuits. The series circuits connects and disconnects the load and the parallel switch discharges the
load to zero and charges it again to the desirable voltage to be controlled by a HV power supply. Besides the general functioning
of the circuit, we want to test the feasibility of ten stages Marx generator and the associated problems, and also how a series
Marx generator behaves. In this case we use 1200 kV semiconductor, IGBTs and diodes, and capacitors.
In the second prototype, a 30 kV range circuit, a couple of important changes were made. The series switch is replaced by a
unique device, a Behlke 70 kV MOSFET switch (this switch is made of several MOSFETs in series but with a unique control with
galvanic insulation). The parallel switch, a Marx generator, is made with 6 stages with 5 kV each, also, with Behlke 8 kV MOSFET
switches. The capacitors used have also an 8 kV voltage range.
The first prototype is being assembled and the second prototype is still waiting for the HV devices (switches and capacitors) to
begin assembling.

C onsidering the AdI grant engineer, ADI reference: SFRH/BEST/33423/2008, this is a student that was contract to work closely
with the C ERN team, being supervised by the section leader and of the Fast Pulsed Magnets (KPS) Section, from the Beam
Transfer (BT) group involved in the PS complex of the Accelerators and Beams Department (AB), Tony Fowler, a member of this
project. During the first months he gather information concerning the ISOLDE and the voltage target modulator, several
measurements, simulation and analysis were made related to the existing system (a report was written that is attach to this
proposal).
Additionally, he participated in several projects undergoing in the team (such as, Tail C lipper - pre-running tests; LSS6 –
Analysis of magnetic field with a capacitive probe), in order to acquire know-how and skills, namely, in high-voltage pulse
generators, which is essential for the construction of the new 60 kV ISOLDE voltage target modulator.
For this third year the objectives are:
1. Start assembling the 60 kV modulator circuit, considering the results of the tests conducted in the two prototypes;
2. Begin testing modulator circuit with the off-line ISOLDE target, during static and dynamic conditions;
3. Transfer the developed technology for other potential applications and introduce students and young researchers to this
interdisciplinary applications oriented field, given the conditions to establish a self supported infrastructure for technology
transfer for real in-situ applications.
The proposed objectives are possible if we are able to increase the team working effort at C ERN, and in parallel continue with
the number of people included in the Lisbon research team. Taking into account that the high-voltage apparatus is assemble at
C ERN, where the majority of the material and human condition are to handle this range of high voltage. We hope to assist the
work at C ERN, by assembling some parts of the circuit in Lisbon, mainly the control parts associated with the semiconductor
triggering circuits.

The goal of this task is to develop the new solid-state based topology for the positive 60 kV modulator circuit of the on-line
isotope separator ISOLDE target voltage. Obtain an output voltage ripple, ± 1 V, which satisfy the stability constraints, within a
time less than the actual 6 ms.
Start assembling the 60 kV modulator circuit, considering the results of the tests conducted in the two modulator prototypes that
are under construction.
In the first prototype, a 10 kV range circuit, with two semiconductor switches, in series and in parallel with the load, based on ten
stages Marx circuits. The series circuits connects and disconnects the load and the parallel switch discharges the load to zero and
charges it again to the desirable voltage to be controlled by a HV power supply. Besides the general functioning of the circuit, the
feasibility of ten stages Marx generator and the associated problems are being tested, and also how a series Marx generator
behaves. In this situation 1200 kV semiconductor, IGBTs and diodes, and capacitors are used. This circuit is being built by the
Lisbon team.
In the second prototype, a 30 kV range circuit, a couple of important changes have been introduced. The series switch is
replaced by a unique device, a Behlke 70 kV MOSFET switch (this switch is made of several MOSFETs in series but with a unique
control with galvanic insulation). The parallel switch, a Marx generator, is made with 6 stages with 5 kV each, also, with Behlke 8
kV MOSFET switches. The capacitors used have also an 8 kV voltage range. This circuit is being built by the C ERN team.
The question with lower range prototypes is how we can be sure that the results obtain with a lower voltage circuit scale to
higher voltages. This is mainly due to the operating mode of the devise when handling different voltages and current and to the
parasites elements (capacitance and inductances) associated with the electrical circuits that increase their effect with higher
voltages and currents.
The complexity in the system examined, is not the topology investigates, but instead the very higher precision needed at
dynamic condition when operating at very high voltage.
In the next year project, the results of the operation of the two prototypes (10kV and 30 kV voltage range), is going to be
analyzed, afterwards we will begin assembling the 60 kV circuit using the same semiconductors and capacitors, as used in the 30
kV prototype. Additionally, the type of series switch (a higher voltage unique switch of a Marx generator multi switches), and the
number of stages used in the parallel Marx generator switch will be chosen accordingly with the results of the two prototypes.
The high voltage equipment, which includes the power supply, semiconductors and capacitors connections to the load are going
to be assembled by the C ERN team. The low voltage triggering control of the semiconductors is going to be connected by the
Lisbon team, and then installed at C ERN with all of the equipment.
Very good coordination will be needed in order to do this, being possible by increasing the C ERN team working effort, which was
added by an AdI grant Portuguese engineer, specially hired for this project, who has now the needed skills for assisting the high
voltage connection, after one year of practice in the Fast Pulsed Magnets (KPS) Section, from the Beam Transfer (BT) group
involved in the PS complex of the Accelerators and Beams Department (AB). Their expertise and skills, namely, in high-voltage
pulse generators are essential for the construction of the new 60 kV ISOLDE voltage target modulator.

The goal of this task is to transfer technology from Portugal to C ERN and vice-versa. Incorporate students in the research area
of pulsed power and instrumentation.
The technology transfer is achieve by developing conceptually the circuits in Portugal and exports this ideas to be implemented
in other places such as C ERN. Here there are other technological and human capabilities to apply the concepts in the form of
large equipments, where the techniques are then import back to be applied in Portugal.
In this technological transfer flow is essential to introduce students in the various stages of developing, as in the designing,
developing, construction and operation the equipment.
C onsidering this project the circuit was developed by the Lisbon research team following the discussing with the C ERN research
team, and is going to by assembled finally at C ERN with the cooperation of the two teams. There are students working in Lisbon
(two FC T grant students) and at C ERN (AdI grant engineer, ADI reference: SFRH/BEST/33423/2008), and during the project
either have the opportunity to participate in the tasks.
In this way there will be a good opportunity to develop the installed technological potential in Portugal by installing working
equipment at C ERN, in this case in the area of Pulsed Power and Instrumentation, which is an area research applied with various
industrial applications.

The goal of this task is to connect the 60 kV modulator assembled in the first task to the off-line ISOLDE target to obtain an
output voltage ripple of ± 1 V within less than 6 ms, which satisfy the voltage recovery time and stability constraints, and is
faster than the results obtain with the actual modulator..
C onsidering that the assembling task of the 60 kV modulator is finished, the circuit should be connected to the off-line ISOLDE
target to test all the different operating conditions and to set all the parameters of the new circuit in order to match the desirable
results.

3.2.4.a Description of the Ma nage m e nt Structure
The structure of this project is design in three major tasks that will be executed throughout the 12 months of project duration.
Task 2 covers all project period because is related to the coordination of the project, the transfer of technology and the student
scholarship. Task 1 is the most important and gives the output to the last Task 3.
The project is based on the work of two research teams, the one in Lisbon more fundamental research oriented and the other in
C ERN more applied research oriented. The work of both teams is organized during the project by the analysis of the results in
regular meetings and reports, organized by the PI, to discuss and inform all the members about the work that is being done in
each place in order to have a full collaboration from all the members and to discuss the way to go.
Initially, and after several meetings at C ERN and in Lisbon, the equipment has been designed; afterwards the first low voltage
prototype has been developed in Lisbon. With the evolution of the work, the C ERN team is getting more occupied with the
experimental task of assembling the high voltage prototype.

Acções de divulgação da actividade científica
Scientific activity spreading actions
Besides spreading actions to the scientific community, conferences and journal papers, we intend to divulge the activity related
with this project to other communities, such as students. This is achieved by participating in seminars and workshops, plus,
national meetings that divulge pulsed power applications and technology, as well as,
the Portuguese collaborations with C ERN.
Additionally, it is considered to begin the first Portuguese web page devoted to pulsed power technology and applications.

The integration of students is essential in order to develop the experimental part of the project, which is very time
consuming: assembling and testing of electrical circuits.
Due to the electronics and physics level of the knowledge involved, it is better to integrate students with more than 3 years
scholarship, in particular, students making the Master degree thesis.
