Hawke, R S

The use of magnetic flux compression to isentropically compress matter is summarized. Details of the process used to extract boundary data from the flash radiographs and the design criteria for the containment of very compressible material are discussed. Finally, suggestions for improvement of the next generation of experiments are made.
