The Z-Machine at Sandia - application of a pulsed-power generator (Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator (PBFA)) - world’s larges Z-pinch and most powerful X-ray source (2 MJ in 10 ns ® 200 TW of X-ray power)

Experimental packages can be fielded near or even within the pinch - hohlraums adjacent to the pinch; capsules and other material samples embedded in the foam core
