Abstract

The tungsten wire liner is accelerated to the Al wire of 120 mm in diameter located in the axis of the array liner at 3 MA maximum current. The pinch phase was studied by the streak and pinhole cameras, spectrograph, x-ray and visual frame and schlieren diagnostics. The spectral, temporal and spatial resolving records confirmed only a small stabilizing role of the wire in the pinched phase of the implosion.
