Coiled arrays, which are cylindrical arrays in which each wire is formed into a helix, suppress the modulation of ablation at the fundamental wavelength. Outside the vicinity of the wire cores, ablation flow from coiled arrays is modulated at the coi

This paper investigates the ablation of wires in two-wire tungsten X -pinches driven by an 80-kA current over 50 ns. High-resolution imaging using a Nomarski interferometer allows measurements close to the X-pinch cross point, where the ablation ldqu

A review of recent experiments on the MAGPIE generator (1 MA, 250 ns) aimed at studying the implosion dynamics of wire array Z-pinches is presented. The first phase of implosion is dominated by the gradual ablation of stationary wire cores and gradua

We report on experiments on the MAGPIE generator (1 MA, 250 ns) to study the physics of plasma formation in wire array Z-pinches. It is shown that the gradual redistribution of the array mass by the precursor plasma flow from wire cores plays a very

A technique for manufacturing wires with imposed modulation in radius with axial wavelengths as short as 1 mm is presented. Extruded aluminum 5056 with 15 μm diameter was masked and chemically etched to reduce the radius by ∼20% in selected region

X-pinch radiography was used to analyze the interaction between streams of coronal plasma and on-axis foam targets in wire array z-pinch experiments on the MAGPIE generator (1 MA,240 ns). The implosion of the x-pinch, used in place of a current retur

A multi-frame extreme ultraviolet imaging system based on four pinhole cameras, each backed by a gated microchannel plate (MCP) detector, was used to analyze plasma formation and dynamics in wire array z-pinch experiments on the MAGPIE generator (1 M

BACKGROUND: Salmeterol is a potent selective beta 2 agonist that has been shown to have a duration of action in excess of 12 hours. In this study salmeterol and salbutamol were compared over a three month period with a further extension of nine month
