Stagnation and disruption of wire array Z-pinch radiation sources on the Z pulsed power generator

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

Jones, Brent M.; Ampleford, David A.; Nielsen, D.S.; Coverdale, Christine A.; Jennings, Christopher A.; Cuneo, M.E.

Magnetic implosions provide extremely intense soft X-ray radiation on the Z accelerator. Shock heating at stagnation provides temperatures that are capable of producing K-shell radiation from stainless steel plasma. Time-gated multicolor X-ray pinhole imaging is used to study stagnation and disruption in fast Z pinches. Magnetohydrodynamic instabilities are observed to grow, following peak X-ray power until the Z-pinch column disrupts well after the main power pulse. © 2006 IEEE.
