An introductory description is given of the nature of high energy physics experiments and of the characteristics of the detectors employed; the main uses of computers in this field are briefly outlined. A more detailed review is made of the r61e of computers in film measurement and data taking methods, indicating the limitations set by present computing techniques and some future trends to be expected.

Inductive Voltage Adder (IVA) accelerators were developed to provide high-current (100s of kA) power pulses at high voltage (up to 20 MV) using robust modular components. This architecture simultaneously resolves problems found in conventional pulsed and linear induction accelerators.A variety of highbrightness pulsed x-ray radiographic sources are needed from sub-megavolt to 16-MeV endpoints with greater source brightness (dose/spotz) than presently available. We are applying WA systems to produce very intense (up.to 75 TW/cma) electron beams for these flash radiographic applications.
