Experimental investigation of plasma-electrode interactions on the ZaP-HD sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch device
Amierul Aqil Khairi, Uri Shumlak
The ZaP-HD sheared-flow-stabilized (SFS) Z-pinch device is a testbed for experimental investigation of plasma-electrode interactions. The graphite electrode is exposed to a high te…
Spectroscopic measurements of graphite electrode erosion on the ZaP-HD sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch device
Amierul Aqil Khairi, Elyse Lian, Uri Shumlak
The ionizations per photon, or S/XB, method uses spectroscopic measurements of radiating impurity ions to determine the influx from a solid surface. It is highly useful as a non-pe…
Z Pinch Kinetics II -- A Continuum Perspective: Betatron Heating and Self-Generation of Sheared Flows
D. W. Crews, E. T. Meier, U. Shumlak
Adiabatic compression of a self-magnetizing current filament (a Z pinch) is analyzed via the adiabatic invariants of its constituent cyclotron and betatron motions. Chew-Goldberger…
Time-resolved measurement of neutron energy isotropy in a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch
R. A. Ryan, P. E. Tsai, A. R. Johansen +7
Previous measurements of neutron energy using fast plastic scintillators while operating the Fusion Z Pinch Experiment (FuZE) constrained the energy of any yield-producing deuteron…
