  • Abstract
    The dynamics of implosions in ldquostarrdquo-like wire arrays were investigated in the 1-MA Zebra generator. The hydrodynamic mode of implosion was confirmed by several plasma diagnostics, including laser probing, an optical streak camera, and a time-gated charge-coupled-device camera. Implosion begins on the edge wires and cascades from wire to wire accelerating toward the center.
