Self-Generated Plasma Rotation in a Z-Pinch Implosion with Preembedded Axial Magnetic Field
Self-Generated Plasma Rotation in a Z-Pinch Implosion with Preembedded Axial Magnetic Field
Using detailed spectroscopic measurements, highly resolved in both time and space, a self-generated plasma rotation is demonstrated using a cylindrical implosion with a preembedded axial magnetic field (${B}_{z0}$). The rotation direction is found to depend on the direction of ${B}_{z0}$ and its velocity is found comparable to the peak implosion …
