Oct 17, 2016 · Sandia National Laboratories' Z-Machine plays a key role in NNSA’s mission to assure the reliability and safety of our nuclear stockpile as it ages.

Each of Z’s 36 transmission lines have multiple triggers and switches that can be employed to produce a given pulse. The Sandia developed Laser-Triggered Gas Switches

Jul 12, 2018 · Inside the Sandia National Laboratories research facility sits a machine of mind-boggling capacity: the Z Machine, the most powerful and efficient laboratory radiation source in the world.

Sandia’s Z machine is Earth’s most powerful pulsed-power facility and X-ray generator. Z compresses energy in time and space to achieve extreme powers and intensities, found nowhere else on Earth.

Purpose: high-resolution, high- sensitivity 2D imaging of Z load x- rays (e.g. MagLIF) In commissioning phase at Z. Located in the Z vacuum chamber, detector is 880 mm from the Z load.

Sandia’s Z machine uses electricity to create radiation and high magnetic pressure, which are both applied to a variety of scientific purposes ranging from weapons research to the pursuit of fusion …
