Electrode plasma formation and melt in Z-pinch accelerators
Recent studies of power flow and particle transport in multi-MA pulsed-power accelerators demonstrate that electrode plasmas may reduce accelerator efficiency by shunting current upstream from the load [Bennett et al., Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 24, 060401 (2021)PRABCJ2469-988810.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams...
