The injector for the second axis of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT) is being designed and constructed at LBNL. The injector consists of a single gap diode extracting 2 μs, 2 kA, 3.2 MeV electron beam from a 6.5 inches diameter thermionic dispenser cathode. The injector is powered through a ceramic column by a Marx generator. We also investigated the possibility of extracti...

The injector for the second axis of the dual-axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARRT) is being designed and manufactured in LBNL. The injector consists of a single gap diode, extracting at 2 microseconds, 2kA (can be extended to 4kA), up to 3.5MV electrons from a dispenser cathode. The diode is powered through a high voltage insulating column by a Marx generator. We shall present an overvie...

The debate over the purpose of sociological research has historically been one between Marx and Weber: is sociology’s role to analyze society (ala Weber) or change it (Marx)?
