Observations of supersonic jet propagation in low-current x-pinches are reported. X-pinches comprising of four 7.5 μm diameter tungsten wires were driven by an 80 kA, 50 ns current pulse from a compact pulser. Coronal plasma surrounding the wire cores was accelerated perpendicular to their surface due to the global J×B force, and traveled toward the axis of the x-pinch to form an axially propagating...
Summary form only given. Understanding the ablation phase of wire arrays is a crucial part of their continued development in the drive towards inertial confinement fusion (ICF). In particular, accurate recovery of the ablated mass density profile evolution from experiments will provide invaluable data for comparison and validation of MHD codes, which in turn provides greater confidence in the scaling...
