A coaxial plasma accelerator system was constructed by LT R. K.
Brumwell, USN at the United States Naval Postgraduate School for the purpose
of producing a high velocity plasma slug. Experiments were performed in an
evacuated chamber. Operating procedures were established for the apparatus
and calibration tests were performed which demonstrated reproducibility of
accelerator discharges made under given conditions.
Use of a radioisotope tracer technique to measure the deposition of a
metallic plasma on a cold wall was thenHnvestigated, A series of tests was
conducted which demonstrates the feasibility of this tracer method for determination
of mass condensation on walls surrounding a high velocity plasma
slug.
