Summary form only given. The ablation phase of exploding multi-wire experiments driven by fast-rising currents in which both global and local magnetic fields are dynamically significant is poorly understood at present. In particular, a quasi-periodic modulation in the plasma flow accelerated from the wire cores following initiation appears at all current levels, and is not fully explained. The lack...
Summary form only given. A general overview of Mo planar wire array implosions (single, double, and triple) from the past three years on the 1 MA, 100 ns UNR Zebra generator is presented. Mo planar wire arrays on Zebra have radiated high peak powers and yields (up to 1 TW and 24 kJ) as well as produced high-temperature L-shell plasmas (up to 1.4 keV), indicating the importance in connection with inertial...
Summary form only given. The double-planar wire array (DPWA) is the most promising Z-pinch load studied on the Zebra generator for application to radiation physics and inertial confinement fusion studies. These loads radiate powers and energies up to ~1 TW and ~25 kJ, respectively, in a versatile pulse shape on the 1 MA Zebra generator. Recent studies show that radiation yields of this load scale...
Summary form only given. We outline new features and recent applications of ePLAS, an implicit/hybrid simulation model in use for Fast Ignition. The code tracks light to the critical surface in laser targets, and treats the generation hot electrons and their subsequent transport and deposition in the background target plasma. The light is typically at ~1020 W/cm2 intensities, delivered in picosecond...
