Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a means to compress plasmas to fusion conditions that uses magnetic fields to greatly reduce electron thermal conduction, thereby greatly reducing compression power density requirements. The compression is achieved b

We discuss the design, fabrication, and operation of a liner implosion system at peak currents of 16 MA. Liners of 1100 aluminum, with initial length, radius, and thickness of 4 cm, 5 cm, and 1 mm, respectively, implode under the action of an axial c

Isotropic high-pressure plasma could be used to compress targets for equation of state studies, for generating fusion reactions, for accelerating projectiles to high speed and for other high-energy density endeavors. One way to generate such high-pre

Axial current discharges were used to implode spherical aluminum shells with thickness tapered to match the external magnetic pressure. These implosions were used to compress hydrogen plasmas with an initial pressure $g100\mathrm{bar}$ and an initial

Electron-beam diodes driven by fast-rising, high-voltage pulses often operate with cold cathodes for which the presence of a plasma adjacent to the cathode surface is essential to obtain adequate electron emission. A consequence of such surface plasm

We illustrate a new technique for computing the time-evolution of magnetic flux on a generally nonorthogonal computational grid of a time-dependent, arbitrary Lagrangian?Eulerian magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation code and apply this technique to

Particle and energy reflection coefficients at a plasma-facing surface are determined for hydrogen-isotope plasma ions which are incident on a carbon surface. Expressions are first fit to Monte Carlo calculations to obtain reflection coefficients whi
