Study on gas-puff Z-pinch by high speed photography

This paper stated applying method of high speed photography to study centripetal motion of plasma generated by gas-puff Z-pinch internal explosion on anode accelerator. The scanning images with high temporal resolution of plasma pinching generated by anode accelerator applying Neon as gas-puff load, was obtained using image-converter streak camera. The process of plasma internal explosion pinching was observed, and the curves of plasma pinching diameter corresponding to scanning time were given.
