Abstract
Many current high-energy-density physics (HEDP) and material science experiments require a large investment of time and research funds, and often come with a low duty factor. We have developed the Cinco HEDP driver, which is a compact pulsed power generator that can be fired more than four times a day (load limited) and has a footprint of only 2 m2. Cinco will be capable of providing pressures up to 1 Mbar on a 128 mm2 strip-line load, with current-pulse tailoring. Given the device's spatial profile, it can be easily installed at facilities capable of x-ray diffraction to study the in-situ properties of materials under extreme pressures.
