Instabilities of a Z-pinch discharge
The cylindrical column of plasma produced in the first stage of a z-pinch discharge is theoretically unstable. For one particular type of instability, the amplitude of a surface perturbation increases at a rate dependent on the acceleration of the surface (Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities). An experim...
