Abstract :
Summary form only given. The optimization and dynamics of aluminum wire arrays, using Al 5056 alloys that contain 5% Mg, have been studied at implosion times from 130 to 200 ns on the Saturn pulsed power generator. In this paper, we will present the spectral analyses and compare them with the measured trends in yield.
