Advanced Concepts Theory Annual Report 1986.

Abstract

This report details the work of the Plasma Radiation Branch conducted in FY 86 with respect to several critical problems concerning the design of Z pinch implosions and the optimization of their radiative output. Separate sections describe progress in atomic modeling of K shell copper radiation, radiation hydrodynamics, argon implosions, design of anti-zippering nozzles, and analyses of anomalous resistivity and plasma opening switches.
