Abstract
Recent research on the 1-MA Michigan Linear Transformer Driver, MAIZE, has focused on the Magneto Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability and validation of analytic theory, developed at UM [1,2]. MRT is a concern to all forms of magnetically imploding experiments, most recently with the imploding liners anticipated in the MagLIF geometry.[3] Eliminating or mitigating MRT is crucial to success of these programs.
