Description
The plasma column evolution in gas-puff z-pinch was investigated on the Yang accelerator. The pinch process was significantly influenced by the initial gas distribution. Uniformity of the gas-puff distribution resulted in the asymmetry of the initially load current through the main channels of the plasma layer. The zipper velocity and implosion speed under 'trumpet' distribution was given, it was observed the pinch speed and the temperature of the plasma near cathode increased when the rise time of the load current was shortened
