Jets from young stars are used as an example to review how laboratory modeling enables
advancement in understanding the main physical processes responsible for the formation …

Gas-puff z-pinch implosions are characterized by the formation of a dense annular plasma
shell, the sheath, that is driven to the axis by magnetic forces and therefore subject to the …

Flows and rotation, particularly E× B rotation, are critical to improving plasma performance,
and waves are a primary tool of plasma control. Thus, it is paramount to understand under …

We review spectroscopic methods developed for the determination of magnetic fields in high-
energy-density (HED) plasmas. In such plasmas, the common Zeeman-splitting magnetic …

In this article, an iterative method for nonlinear transmission lines (TLs) based on the Lax-
Wendroff method has been established to describe a bidirectional coupling model of …

Recent pulsed-power experiments have demonstrated the formation of astrophysically
relevant, differentially rotating plasmas. Key features of the plasma flows are the discovery of …

The Naval Research Laboratory 'Mag Noh problem', described in this paper, is a self-similar
magnetized implosion flow, which contains a fast magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) outward …

A study on the neutron production from single and double gas puff Z-pinches on the
CESZAR linear transformer driver with∼ 0.45 MA current and 170 ns rise time is presented …

In this study, the effect and mechanism of a dynamic axial magnetic field on a
preconditioned single-wire Z-pinch were investigated experimentally and theoretically …

Experiments measuring the azimuthal magnetic field of gas-puff Z-pinch implosions on two
drivers of significantly different timescales are presented. Using a Zeeman-based …
