      with a carbon fiber array cathode.

AB  - A carbon fiber array cathode (CFAC) was presented and tested in a magnetically 
      insulated transmission line oscillator (MILO) in earlier papers; however, the 
      performance of this cathode was not as good as the traditional polymer velvet 
      cathode, and the nonuniform fibers' distribution on the cathode surface was 
      postulated as the culprit for this. In this paper, this CFAC has been carefully 
      reprocessed, and the performance is improved (efficiency increases from  approximately 12% to 
       approximately 16%) and reaches a level that is as good as the velvet cathode, which means that 
      this CFAC provides a promising substitute for the polymer velvet cathode in MILO.
