Pulsed power accelerators compress electrical energy in space and time to provide versatile
experimental platforms for high energy density and inertial confinement fusion science. The …

Fisher and collaborators at the University of California, Irvine, invented the gas puff Z-pinch
in the late 1970s using a 200-kA generator. The implementation of gas puffs as a copious …

This review presents the author's view on modern trends in the development of charged
particle accelerators for various applications, which is based on his own experience in this …

Low‐pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of
small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle‐forming …

The effects of various discharge parameters and ambient gas on the length of He
atmospheric plasma jet plumes expanding into the open air are studied. It is found that the …

The objectives of this tutorial are as follows: 1) to help students and researchers develop a
basic understanding of how pulsed-power systems are used to create high-energy-density …

This review presents the current state of research on the generation and application of
subfemtosecond (or attosecond, where 1 as $= 10^{-18}\{\text {s}} $) ultraviolet and X-ray …

Enhancement of relativistic third-harmonic generation by using an optically preformed
periodic plasma waveguide was achieved. Resonant dependence of harmonic intensity on …

Shock ignition is a two-step inertial confinement fusion concept where a strong shock wave
is launched at the end of the laser pulse to ignite the compressed core of a low-velocity …

The Chicxulub asteroid impact triggered mass extinction, mega-tsunamis and a spell of
global warming that lasted for around 100,000 years. Although the recent Double Asteroid …
