Abstract
The Staged Z-pinch is a magneto-inertial fusion concept in which compression of the target plasma, deuterium (D) or deuterium-tritium (DT) is driven by two mechanisms: inertial compression of the liner plasma, typically a high-Z gas like Kr, driven by the externally-applied JxB force, and shock compression, driven by transport of this force to the target/liner interface.
