LLNL fielded neutron detectors at UCSD’s CESZAR facility during the experimental campaigns investigating the staged Z-pinch concept. This concept uses high current to compress a cylindrical plasma composed a high atomic number gas, such as argon, surrounding fusion fuel. LLNL analyzed data from the diagnostics and improved the diagnostic setup specific to the experiment. This work helps to advance the mission creating a fusion energy source, which is a benefit to the economy and for energy security.
