Notes:
We have developed a dual-plenum gas valve coupled to a double shell nozzle for the generation of "shell-on-shell" gas loads in z-pinch plasma radiation source experiments. The gas density profiles of the nozzles have been characterized with laser interferometry. This valve/nozzle combination has been successfully fielded on the Double-EAGLE and Saturn pulsed-power generators. The design and characterization of the shell-on-shell valve/nozzle are presented in this article. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
