The Z-pinch, perhaps the oldest subject in plasma physics, has achieved a remarkable
renaissance in recent years, following a few decades of neglect due to its basically unstable …

Laboratory facilities employing high pulsed currents and voltages, and called generally
“pulsed-power facilities,” allow experimenters to produce a variety of hydrodynamical …

High current pulsed-power generators efficiently store and deliver magnetic energy to z-
pinch targets. We review applications of magnetically driven implosions (MDIs) to inertial …

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 …

The Z Facility at Sandia National Laboratories [Matzen et al., Phys. Plasmas 12, 055503
(2005)] provides MJ-class x-ray sources that can emit powers> 0.3 PW. This capability …

A three-dimensional, fully electromagnetic model of the principal pulsed-power components
of the 26-MA ZR accelerator [DH McDaniel, in Proceedings of the 5th International …

We spectroscopically measure multiple hydrogen Balmer line profiles from laboratory
plasmas to investigate the theoretical line profiles used in white dwarf (WD) atmosphere …

Z 箍缩驱动聚变-裂变混合能源堆(Z-FFR) 在核安全, 经济, 持久和环境友好等方面具有优良的
品质, 有望成为有效应对未来能源危机和环境, 气候问题的新能源. 从Z 箍缩驱动聚变方案与聚变 …

We investigate the dynamics of convergent shock compression in solid cylindrical targets
irradiated by an ultrafast relativistic laser pulse. Our particle-in-cell simulations and coupled …

A gas-puff z-pinch experimental platform has been developed for the 0.5–1-MA, 100–250-ns
MAIZE pulsed power facility at the University of Michigan. The experiment consists of a …
