Impedance matching of pulsed power accelerator for megajoule-class dynamic-material-physics experiments

The pulsed-power accelerator uses its parallel branches triggered to shape the load-current pulse as required for a material physics experiment. We obtained the energy efficiencies with the source impedance and the load impedance in any branches triggered sequence. It is found that the energy efficiencies is only depend for the pulsed power accelerator impedance and the load impedance for any order of the branches triggered. And it is the highest when they are equaled.
