Confinement of a Z-pinch plasma with cold gas end plugs
Plasma escaping from the ends of a Z-pinch can be slowed by a plug of cold gas. Model calculations predict that increasing the plug density will reduce the plasma motion, although experiments show that this effect is gained at the cost of greater heat loss. The helium plasma used in this work has a...
