Calibrated r-θ density profiles from wire-array experiments on COBRA will be presented. Profiles are axially averaged over the height of the array. The data was gathered using an axial X pinch backlighter. Images have better than 5-micron resolution with calibrated ion densities from 1018 to 1020 cm-3. The experimental data showing ion density and timing of ablation streams and precursor formation...
Magnetic field measurements inside wire-array Z-pinches have shown significant field penetration during the ablation phase, as wire material streams toward the axis producing the mass distribution that ultimately determines the implosion characteristics. End-on imaging is especially useful for observing the dynamical effects of the magnetic field on the ablation streams. Quantitative end-on imaging...
