A new magnetically insulated ion diode geometry has been developed for use on a 270-kV, 3.3-Ω, 80-ns pulse line. A proton beam is extracted at ∼100 A/cm2 with a divergence angle of ≲ 2°(full-width half angle), and focused to over 600 A/cm2. Magnetic insulation is provided by a current flowing through a conductor on the axis of the diode in the same direction as the ion beam.
