3-dimensional modeling of nested Al and Ni-clad Ti on Al wire array Z pinches

Summary form only given, as follows. Large diameter nested wire array z-pinches imploded on the Z-generator at Sandia National Laboratories have been used to generate high intensity K-shell radiation. Previous experiments have used different materials between the inner and outer array to allow radiation emitted during the implosion and stagnation to provide some insight into the structure of the imploding plasma and the way in which the different arrays participate in the implosion.
