Abstract :
We report on the experimental operation of an argon double gas puff. The experiments were performed on the 200 ns, 4 MA Double-EAGLE facility at Maxwell Physics International. Extensive diagnostics demonstrated good quality implosions comparable in quality to short pulse (∼100 ns) z-pinches.
