Physical research of fast Z-pinch implosion for the W multi-wire arrays

Description

This paper theoretically and experimentally investigated the physical process of fast Z-pinch implosion and radiation, carried through 1 D, 2 D radiation magneto-hydrodynamics codes. A Series of experimental studies were expanded on facilities of S-300. Angara-5-1 in Russia and 'Yang', Qiangguang-1 in China. Several diagnostic systems were developed for observing radiation Z-pinch plasma. Loads tungsten wire-array of one-layer, two-layer and with deuterium-polymer in core were studied. Emphasizing physical law energy conjugation and implosion, some new experimental results and picture of implosion dynamics were obtained. (authors)
