An investigation of cylindrical liner Z-pinches as drivers for converging strong shock experiments

A cylindrical liner z-pinch configuration has been used to drive converging radia- tive shock waves into different gases. Experiments were carried out on the MAGPIE (1.4 MA, 250 ns rise-time) pulsed-power device at Imperial College London [1]. On application of the current pulse, a series of cylindr...
