Abstract
The structure of a proposed several‐megaamperes discharge created along a narrow filament of laser‐produced ionization through a high‐density deuterium‐tritium gas mixture is discussed. This initiation technique provides a convenient method for creating long straight gas‐embedded z pinches (or screw pinches if a Bz is included) which may be of thermo‐nuclear interest.Keywords
