Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetically accelerated, ultrahigh velocity flyer plates for shock wave experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented results pertaining to plate impact, shock wave experiments in which the aluminum flyer plates were magnetically accelerated across a vacuum gap and impacted z-cut, α-quartz targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of pulsed power-driven high energy density physics research on Z at Sandia

TL;DR: The 80-TW "Z" pulsed power facility at Sandia National Laboratories as discussed by the authors is the largest pulsed-power device in the world today, and it can discharge up to 22'MJ of energy stored in its capacitor banks into a current pulse that rises in 100'ns and peaks at a current as high as 30 MA in low-inductance cylindrical targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic considerations for scaling Z -pinch x-ray emission with atomic number

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the x-ray emission from aluminum implosions above 1 keV on the energy per ion and per centimeter of the imploded Z-pinch array was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetically driven hyper-velocity launch capability at the Sandia Z accelerator

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar stripline configuration of aluminum and copper flyer plates is proposed to increase the magnetic pressure for a given current and the cross sectional area of a flyer plate is larger than in previous coaxial loads.
