Abstract
In this paper the theory, design and performance of an auto-integratin g longitudinal coil used to measure fast pulsed currents flowing along sheets is presented. The sensitivity is given as a function of the sh eet width, the coil-sheet distance and the coil load impedance. The co il has been used in N2 laser investigations where current measurements are very difficult to achieve.
