Title: Investigating the effect of adding an on-axis jet to Ar gas puff Z pinches on Z.

Abstract

Double-shell Ar gas puff implosions driven by 16.5±0.5 MA on the Z generator at Sandia National Laboratories are very effective emitters of Ar K-shell radiation (photon energy >3 keV), producing yields of 330 ± 9% kJ (B. Jones et al., Phys. Plasmas, 22, 020706, 2015). In addition, previous simulations and experiments have reported dramatic increases in K-shell yields when adding an on-axis jet to double shell gas puffs for some configurations.

Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability mitigation and efficient radiation production in gas puff Z-pinch implosions

Journal Article Sze, H ; Levine, J S ; Banister, J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Large radius Z-pinches are inherently susceptible to the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability because of their relatively long acceleration path. This has been reflected in a significant reduction of the argon K-shell yield as was observed when the diameter of the load was increased from 2.5 to >4 cm. Recently, an approach was demonstrated to overcome the challenge with a structured gas puff load that mitigates the RT instability, enhances the energy coupling, and leads to a high compression, high yield Z-pinch. The novel load consists of a 'pusher', outer region plasma that carries the current and couples energy from themore »« less

Study of Triple Ar Gas Puff Z-Pinches on 0.9-MA, 200-ns COBRA

Journal Article Qi, N. ; Rocco, S. V. ; Engelbrecht, J. ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

Ar gas puff z-pinch experiments were conducted on the 0.9 MA, 200 ns COBRA generator at Cornell University. In the experiments, a triple-nozzle gas valve was used to produce the zpinch load with concentric outer and inner gas puffs and a central gas jet. We used Planer Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) to measure the initial gas profile of the load, two 4-frame 4-ns gated XUV cameras to image the imploding plasma, and filtered Photo- Conducting Diamond Detectors (PCDs) to measure the x-ray output. We have observed shock heating and/or photoionization of the dense center jet by the imploding plasma. Withmore »« less

One- and two-dimensional modeling of argon K-shell emission from gas-puff Z-pinch plasmas

Journal Article Thornhill, J W ; Chong, Y K ; Apruzese, J P ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In this paper, a theoretical model is described and demonstrated that serves as a useful tool for understanding K-shell radiating Z-pinch plasma behavior. Such understanding requires a self-consistent solution to the complete nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium kinetics and radiation transport in order to realistically model opacity effects and the high-temperature state of the plasma. For this purpose, we have incorporated into the MACH2 two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code [R. E. Peterkin et al., J. Comput. Phys. 140, 148 (1998)] an equation of state, called the tabular collisional radiative equilibrium (TCRE) model [J. W. Thornhill et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 3480 (2001)], thatmore »« less

Efficient Radiation Production in Long Implosions of Structured Gas-Puff Z Pinch Loads from Large Initial Radius

Journal Article Sze, H ; Banister, J ; Failor, B H ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We have proposed and demonstrated successfully a new approach for generating high-yield K-shell radiation with large-diameter gas-puff Z pinches. The novel load design consists of an outer region plasma that carries the current and couples energy from the driver, an inner region plasma that stabilizes the implosion, and a high-density center jet plasma that radiates. It increased the Ar K-shell yield at 3.46 MA in 200 ns implosions from 12 cm initial diameter by a factor of 2, to 21 kJ, matching the yields obtained earlier on the same accelerator with 100 ns implosions. A new ''pusher-stabilizer-radiator'' physical model ismore » advanced to explain this result.« less

K-shell and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopic signatures of structured Ar puff Z-pinch loads with high K-shell x-ray yield

Journal Article Failor, B H ; Sze, H M ; Banister, J W ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Structured 12-cm-diam Ar gas-puff loads have recently produced Z-pinch implosions with reduced Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth and increased K-shell x-ray yield [H. Sze, J. Banister, B. H. Failor, J. S. Levine, N. Qi, A. L. Velikovich, J. Davis, D. Lojewski, and P. Sincerny, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 105001 (2005)]. To better understand the dynamics of these loads, we have measured the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) emission resolved radially, spectrally, and axially. Radial measurements indicated a compressed diameter of {approx_equal}3 mm, consistent with the observed load inductance change and an imploded-mass consisting of a {approx_equal}1.5-mm-diam, hot, K-shell-emitting core and a cooler surrounding blanket.more »« less
