Wire Arrays: interesting for inertial fusion and laboratory astrophysics
|
In multiwire arrays, the parallel
currents in the wires attract the exploding wire plasmas toward each
other, and in cylindrical multiwire arrays, the whole array of exploding
wire plasmas is attracted (imploded) toward the cylindrical axis, again
giving a z-pinch.
Studies of radiation dominated wire arrays:
Some wire configurations will also enable fundamental studies of highly
supersonic radiatively cooled plasma jets and their (collisional and
collisionless) interactions with plasma targets, both with and without
applied magnetic fields.
Diagnostic instruments available to Center
researchers include visible light and x-ray streak cameras, visible/UV
light and x-ray spectrographs, x-ray imaging using the X-pinch x-ray
source, laser-based imaging methods, including interferometry and
shadowgraphy, etc.
