Compression of ultrahigh magnetic fields in a gas-puff Z pinch
Journal Article

· Phys. Fluids; (United States)
Evidence is presented that an axial magnetic field of 100 kG has been compressed to 42 MG by an imploding neon gas-puff Z pinch on a 800 kJ, 7.5 MA, 60 nsec pulsed power generator. Machine electrical diagnostics and x-ray pinhole photographs indicate that this 420-fold field compression was produced by imploding plasma at high magnetic Reynolds number.
