Abstract
The use of stripline, rather than coaxial, load configurations for isentropic compression experiments (ICE) on Sandia´s Z accelerator has recently become commonplace. Such loads offer many advantages over previously-developed coaxial loads, but also introduce new issues. In this paper, we will describe the behavior of these stripline loads and examine some of the issues that arise through their use.
