title = "Self-Generated Plasma Rotation in a Z-Pinch Implosion with Preembedded Axial Magnetic Field",
abstract = "Using detailed spectroscopic measurements, highly resolved in both time and space, a self-generated plasma rotation is demonstrated using a cylindrical implosion with a preembedded axial magnetic field (Bz0). The rotation direction is found to depend on the direction of Bz0 and its velocity is found comparable to the peak implosion velocity, considerably affecting the force and energy balance throughout the implosion. Moreover, the evolution of the rotation is consistent with magnetic flux surface isorotation, a novel observation in a Z pinch, which is a prototypical time dependent system.",
