Prof. Daniel Klir and his team from the Czech Technical University recently used UM’s MAIZE facility to study novel ion acceleration mechanisms in hybrid X-pinches. The results were recently published in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion: V. Munzar, G. Dowhan, D. Klir, J. Novotny, K. Rezac, J. Chen, J. Cikhardt, B. Cikhardtova, V. Juras, N. Jordan, P. Kubes, J. Malir, L. Tafoya, K. Turek, and R. D.
