A Comprehensive Analytical Model of the Dynamic Z-Pinch
Alejandro Mesa Dame, Eric S. Lavine, David A. Hammer
We present an analytical 1D axisymmetric model describing the evolution of the dynamic z-pinch. This model is capable of predicting the trajectories of the imploding sheath's magne…
Resistive diffusion and radiative cooling effects in magnetized oblique shocks
R. Datta, E. Neill, E. Freeman +7
Magnetized oblique shocks are of interest in various plasmas, including in astrophysical systems, magneto-inertial confinement fusion experiments, and in aerospace applications. Th…
Wavenumber Calibration for an Imaging Refractometer
A. Rososhek, B. R. Kusse, W. M. Potter +3
An imaging refractrometer can be used to describe the properties of a high-energy density plasma by analyzing the transverse intensity distribution of a laser beam that has passed…
Randomization of a Laser Wavefront by the Turbulent Gas-Puff Z-Pinch Plasma Column
A. Rososhek, E. S. Lavine, B. R. Kusse +2
In this paper, we present the first direct experimental evidence supported by numerical modeling of a turbulent plasma column formed during a gas-puff z-pinch implosion generated b…
