This paper reports on a diagnostic technique developed to improve the understanding of the behavior of discontinuous armature configurations. The knowledge of the current distribution between the different conductors is of central importance for such configurations. The measurement technique is explained and experimental results obtained at the ISL-railgun EMA3 (muzzle velocity v0 < 2 km/s, applied...

The development of fast Z-pinch technology at Physics International Company using generators with peak powers ≥ 1012 W and ∼ 100 ns pulsewidths has produced argon plasmas with Te up to 1–2 keV, and ne = 1020 → 2 × 1021/cm3 from wire arrays and a gas puff technique. Results from gas puff experiments using the 5 TW PITHON generator are described. It is shown that modest extrapolations of the parameters...
