Cylindrical Liner Z-pinches as Drivers for Converging Strong Shock Experiments

The thesis describes the development of an entirely new experimental platform for generating and studying converging radiative shock waves. It was discovered that the application of large magnetic pressures to gas-filled cylindrical metallic tubes could sequentially produce three shocks within the g...
