Abstract: We describe a series of experiments performed to study the shock structure generated during the implosion of a gas-puff Z-pinch. The Z-pinch is produced by a double-annular gas-puff with a center jet driven by Cornell… read more here.

Abstract: The gas-puff Z-pinch is a well-known source of x-rays and/or neutrons, but it is highly susceptible to the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRTI). Approaches to MRTI mitigation include density profile tailoring, in which nozzles are added or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tps.2018.2860927
Abstract: The conditions and dynamics of neon gas puff Z-pinch plasmas at pinch time are studied on a pulsed power generator with a current rise time of approximately 200-ns and 0.9-mA peak current. Radial tailoring of… read more here.
