Asymptotic scaling laws for the stagnation conditions of Z-pinch implosions
D. E. Ruiz, C. A. Williams, R. A. Vesey
Implosions of magnetically-driven annular shells (Z pinches) are studied in the laboratory to produce high-energy-density plasmas. Such plasmas have a wide-range of applications in…

Degradation of performance in ICF implosions due to Rayleigh--Taylor instabilities: a Hamiltonian perspective
D. E. Ruiz
The Rayleigh--Taylor instability (RTI) is an ubiquitous phenomenon that occurs in inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) implosions and is recognized as an important limiting factor of…
