We present a study investigating the distribution of current density in solid, metallic liners directly relevant to the MagLIF approach to fusion. Here, the liner thickness is large compared to the collisionless skin depth, and a vacuum gap is introduced in the power feed to simulate the load method on the Z machine at Sandia Laboratories. We present optical emission data along with a 3D magnetic...
The dynamics of Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF)1, a new and promising approach to pulsed power fusion, are presently under detailed study at Sandia National Laboratories. Alongside this, a comprehensive analysis of the influence of the specific liner design geometry in the MagLIF system on liner initiation is underway in the academic community.
The hot spot that develops in the gap between the electrodes of a hybrid X-pinch (HXP) [1] is a unique source of X-rays. The hot spot location is within 100–1000 μm of the center of symmetry of the X-pinch, and uncertainty depends on the gap size. Investigation of the X-pinch neck cascade process [2] showed that the hot spot tended to develop on one side of the minidiode that constitutes the z-pinch...
