Abstract

A design of a synchronization system for the four-module “Gamma-4” electrophysical facility has been developed. The synchronization system is meant for triggering (with precision not worse than plus or minus 3 ns) of high-volt gas-filled trigatron type switches of facility modules´ pulse forming systems (144 items, operating voltage 1 MV), modules´ pre-pulse switches (24 items, operating voltage 3 MV) and 8 Marx generators (40 items, operating voltage 90 kV).
