Description

Preliminary results in a gas embedded Z-pinch driven by the SPEED2 generators are presented. A 0-D model for a quasi static z-pinch with variable line density has been applied to determined the initial conditions to produce a gas embedded z-pinch to be driven by SPEED2 generator. Initial conditions to produce a gas embedded z-pinch with enhanced stability by means resistive effects and by finite Larmor radius effects were obtained. Using these results the electrodes were designed and constructed
