Pulsed-power driven HED plasma experiments at the MAGPIE facility

We present results from recent high energy density plasma experiments conducted at the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator (1.4 MA peak-current, 240 ns rise-time). The plasmas for these experiments are formed by using either ablation of targets by X-ray pulses generated by wire array z-pinch implosions or by current-driven ablation of wires in inverse wire arrays. Recent experimental campaigns have been focused on studies of cylindrically converging plasma flows (n_e~ 10¹⁸ cm^-3, vr ~ 20-40 km/s) in the presence of dynamically significant magnetic fields (B ~ 1 T), formation of differentially rotating plasmas, and the development of turbulence in collisions of counter-streaming supersonic plasma flows.
