Impulse-driven transport of liquid metal from z-pinch electrodes and implications for fusion fuel contamination
Daniel P. Weber, Colin S. Adams
The Liquid Electrode eXperiment is a surrogate environment to study the dynamic behavior of liquid metal plasma facing components relevant to a z-pinch device. Current pulses with…
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…
Observation of Rayleigh-Taylor-Instability Evolution in a Plasma with Magnetic and Viscous Effects
Colin S. Adams, Auna L. Moser, Scott C. Hsu
We present time-resolved observations of Rayleigh--Taylor-instability (RTI) evolution at the interface between an unmagnetized plasma jet colliding with a stagnated, magnetized pla…
Laboratory plasma physics experiments using merging supersonic plasma jets
S. C. Hsu, A. L. Moser, E. C. Merritt +8
We describe a laboratory plasma physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory that uses two merging supersonic plasma jets formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven rail gu…
Experimental evidence for collisional shock formation via two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Auna L. Moser, Scott C. Hsu +4
We report spatially resolved measurements of the oblique merging of two supersonic laboratory plasma jets. The jets are formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven railguns using in…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
