Abstract
We are investigating several methods to stabilize an aluminum vapor Z-pinch involving; applied axial magnetic fields, decreased z-current rise-time, and staged loads. The pinch is driven by a 2 Ω, 0.1 TW generator (∼250 kA in ∼50 ns) and is initiated in a plasma jet (3-mm diameter and 9-mm long) prepared by an exploded aluminum foil (5-mm thick). The axial-magnetic field is externally applied (B zo ∼ 50 G) or alternately, self-generated by a twisted discharge-return-current structure (B zo
