An experimental investigation of the azimuthal structures formed during the ablation phase of wire array z-pinches

A series of wire array implosion experiments have been carried out on MAGPIE, a 1.4MA peak current, 240ns rise-time pulsed power generator located at Imperial College London. The aim of these experiments was to investigate the azimuthal structure of ablation plasma produced during the early stages o...
