Radiatively Cooled Magnetic Reconnection Experiments Driven by Pulsed Power
R Datta, K Chandler, C E Myers +20
We present evidence for strong radiative cooling in a pulsed-power-driven magnetic reconnection experiment. Two aluminum exploding wire arrays, driven by a 20 MA peak current, 300…

Plasmoid formation and strong radiative cooling in a driven magnetic reconnection experiment
R. Datta, K. Chandler, C. E. Myers +20
We present results from the first experimental study of strongly radiatively-cooled magnetic reconnection. Two exploding aluminum wire arrays, driven simultaneously by the Z machin…

A framework for experimental-data-driven assessment of Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion stagnation image metrics
William E. Lewis, Eric C. Harding, David A. Yager-Elorriaga +4
A variety of spherical crystal x-ray imager (SCXI) diagnostics have been developed and fielded on Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) experiments at the Sandia National Labor…
