Experimental study of the characteristics of hard x-ray (HXR) emission from multi-planar wire arrays and compact-cylindrical wire arrays (CCWA) plasmas on the 1.6 MA Zebra generator at UNR has been carried out. The characteristics of HXR produced by multi-planar wire arrays such as single, double, and triple planar as well as compact-cylindrical wire arrays made from Al, Cu, brass, Mo, and W were...
Sheared flows have been predicted to stabilize the kink instability that disrupts the Z-pinch. Experiments conducted at the Nevada Terawatt Facility used conical wire arrays with the addition of a wire on axis to create a sheared flow. Multiframe laser images and time integrated pinhole images suggest that the sheared flow generated in this configuration is sufficient to suppress the kink instability.
