Shock Wave Formation in Radiative Plasmas
F. Garcia-Rubio, V. Tranchant, E. C. Hansen +6
The temporal evolution of weak shocks in radiative media is theoretically investigated in this work. The structure of radiative shocks has traditionally been studied in a stationar…

The staged Z-pinch as a potential high-gain fusion energy source: Rebuttal to I. R. Lindemuth et al
E. Ruskov, P. Ney, H. U. Rahman
Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technology Inc. has been working on a Z-pinch concept where a high atomic number liner is compressing a fusion fuel (deuterium-deuterium, or deuterium-triti…
