Abstract
Modern pulsed power has its genesis in the pioneering work of the late John Christopher Martin and his colleagues at the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston, U.K., in the 1960s [1]. “Charlie,” as he was known to the community, was a hydrodynamicist who was frustrated by his inability to purchase an adequate X-ray radiography source to image the dynamic phenomena he was interested in. As a result, he pursued a new generation of radiography sources that were based on high-power Marx generators, coupled with low-impedance transmission lines, and cold cathode single-stage accelerating gaps. Thus was the birth of modern pulsed power.
