Abstract :
An effect of the global magnetic field on the ablation rate of wire cores in wire array Z-pinch experiments was studied using wire arrays with fixed wire number but different array diameter. The data suggest that the ablation rate is higher for the arrays with smaller diameter, when the global magnetic field is larger. A model for the scaling of the ablation rate with array parameters is also presented.
