Abstract :
One-dimensional numerical simulations of compressional Z-pinch show that the plasma radius after first compression is oscillating in time. Previous experiments with end-on diagnostics showed no evidence of such behavior but a recent series of experiments with side-on diagnostics on hydrogen plasma has shown that this is indeed the case
