Journal ArticleDOI
High-gain magnetized inertial fusion.
TL;DR: Numerical simulations are presented showing that high-gain MIF is possible in cylindrical liner implosions based on the MagLIF concept with the addition of a cryogenic layer of deuterium-tritium (DT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and scaling of tungsten-wire-array z -pinch implosion dynamics at 20 MA.

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.
