Abstract
The purpose of the experiments was to achieve hydromagnetic shockwaves on a linear pinch collapse. To approach the hydromagnetic two-fluid model a strong pre-ionization was used. If the conductivity of the plasma is high and the gas fully ionized, the mass density must be proportional to the stabilizing field within the current sheet. By this way the structure of shockwaves could be obtained from magnetic field measurements.
