Knowledge of the magnetic field distribution in a z-pinch plasma is of high importance since the plasma-field interaction plays a key role in determining the characteristics of the stagnation process and the efficiency of the magnetic-energy coupling to the plasma. However, plasma conditions that are typical of high-energy-density systems often render the common Zeeman-splitting magnetic field diagnostic...
Knowledge of the time dependent magnetic field spatial distribution in imploding plasmas (such as a Z-pinch plasma) is of high importance, due to the key role of the magnetic field in determining the characteristics of the imploding and stagnating plasma. Theoretical models of Z pinch plasmas strongly rely on the magnetic field distribution for the predictions of the hydrodynamic and atomic processes,...
Axi-symmetric mirror machines are the simplest magnetic confinement devices, and as such could be attractive for fusion machines, ions separation, and more. However, mirror machines suffer from particle loss due to the violent flute instability. We demonstrates for the first time the stabilization of fast growing, slowly rotating flute instability by multi-input, multi-output active feedback system.
Even though the physics of Z-pinch systems is understood in general, there is a severe lack of detailed experimental data on the thermalization processes and dynamics that govern the pinch behaviour, and on the plasma parameters during the stagnation phase. Here, we report on a novel spectroscopic system, used to determine temporally-resolved ion kinetic energy and temperature, electron temperature...
The thermalization and energy conversion to radiation in high-energy-density plasma is a topic of broad interest in laboratory plasmas and in astrophysics. Knowledge of the ion temperature is of decisive importance, since this parameter determines the rate of various processes, including that of the energy transfer to electrons. We here report on the development of a novel spectroscopic method for...
