Generation of episodic magnetically driven plasma jets in a radial foil Z-pinch

The author was heavily involved in all stages of the experimental research, he: (1) helped design the experimental campaign (2) helped design the hardware used in the experiments (including developing methods to accurately hold the foils); (3) fielded multiple diagnostics to examine the plasma produced, many of which the author designed and constructed himself for similar experiments. The author contributed to the data analysis, discussing different dynamical phenomena observed on the multiple frame XUV and laser imaging ‘movies’; and how these dynamics related to his recent experiments on radial wire arrays. The author helped draft and critique the paper.
