Abstract:
A radiation-hardened electrical cable, comprising:(a) a high-Z conductor means;(b) a first trapped-electron reducer having a low-Z metal layer and a low-Z dielectric film, the low-Z metal layer of the first trapped-electron reducer being inward of the low-Z dielectric film, the low-Z metal layer being against the high-Z conductor means, the first trapped-electron reducer surrounding the high-Z conductor means;(c) a low-Z dielectric insulator against the low-Z dielectric film of the first trapped-electron reducer, the low-Z dielectric insulator surrounding the first trapped-electron reducer;(d) a second trapped-electron reducer having a low-Z metal layer and a low-Z dielectric film, the low-Z dielectric film of the second trapped-electron reducer being against the low-Z dielectric insulator, the second trapped-electron reducer surrounding the low-Z dielectric insulator, the low-Z metal layer of the second trapped-electron reducer being outward of the low-Z dielectric film of the second trapped electron reducer; and(e) a high-Z conductive shield surrounding the metal layer of the second trapped-electron reducer, the high-Z conductive shield being in electrical contact with the metal layer of the second trapped-electron reducer.
