On high-energy-density field-reversed configurations for sub-microsecond magneto-inertial fusion Open
Results from theory, simulation, and experiment are presented that support the concept of sub-microsecond formation and compression of centimeter-scale field-reversed configurations (FRCs) for fusion yield. Such FRCs require 10–100+ T of a…

Quadrupolar density structures in driven magnetic reconnection experiments with a guide field Open
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous process in plasma physics, driving rapid and energetic events such as coronal mass ejections. Reconnection between magnetic fields with arbitrary shear can be decomposed into an anti-parallel reconnect…

Self-driven ion deflectometry measurements using MeV fusion-driven protons and accelerated deuterons in the deuterated hybrid x-pinch on the MAIZE LTD generator Open
We report on the results of point-projection ion deflectometry measurements from a mid-size university z-pinch experiment. A 1 MA 8 kJ LTD generator at the University of Michigan (called MAIZE) drove a hybrid x-pinch (HXP) with a deuterate…

An X-pinch load driven by an intense current pulse (>100 kA in ∼100 ns) can result in the formation of a small radius, runaway compressional micro-pinch. A micro-pinch is characterized by a hot (>1 keV), current-driven (>100 kA), …

Characterization of X-Pinches on the MAIZE Linear Transformer Driver Open
An X-pinch, formed by driving an intense current pulse (>100 kA in ~100 ns) through the crossing of 2 or more wires, can result in the formation of a small radius, runaway compressional micro-pinch. A micro-pinch is characterized by a hot …

Additively manufactured electrodes for plasma and power-flow studies in high-power transmission lines on the 1-MA MAIZE facility Open
Power-flow studies on the 30-MA, 100-ns Z facility at Sandia National Laboratories have shown that plasmas in the facility’s magnetically insulated transmission lines (MITLs) and double post-hole convolute can result in a loss of current d…
