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.

TL;DR: A method to diagnose fuel magnetization using the ratio of overall deuterium-tritium to deuterum-deuterium neutron yields is developed and is applied to recent MIF experiments, indicating that significant magnetic confinement of charged burn products was achieved and suggesting a relatively low-mix environment.
