Impulse-driven transport of liquid metal from z-pinch electrodes and implications for fusion fuel contamination Open
The Liquid Electrode eXperiment is a surrogate environment to study the dynamic behavior of liquid metal plasma facing components relevant to a z-pinch device. Current pulses with amplitudes between 50 and 200 kA produce magnetic fields up…

Time-resolved measurement of neutron energy isotropy in a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch Open
Previous measurements of neutron energy using fast plastic scintillators while operating the Fusion Z Pinch Experiment (FuZE) constrained the energy of any yield-producing deuteron beams to less than 4.65 keV. FuZE has since been operated …
HVDC Surface Flashover in Compressed Air for Various Dielectrics Open
This study measures the voltage at which flashover occurs in compressed air for a variety of dielectric materials and lengths in a uniform field for DC voltages up to 100 kV. Statistical time lag is recorded and characterized, displaying a…
Kinetic studies of ICF implosions Open
Kinetic effects on inertial confinement fusion have been investigated. In particular, inter-ion-species diffusion and suprathermal ion distribution have been analyzed. The former drives separation of the fuel constituents in the hot reacti…
Multi-fluid studies of plasma shocks relevant to inertial confinement fusion Open
Results from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments performed at the Omega laser facility suggest the potential role of kinetic effects in plasmas during implosion. Recent theoretical and numerical work has indicated the importance …
