Executive Summary
This 1976 report from the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory details experimental investigations into the properties and stability of high-density plasma produced by the Scylla I-C theta pinch. Author Kenneth F. McKenna explores basic plasma physics processes, density measurements, and the effects of magnetic bias fields to support advanced energy research and laser-plasma interaction studies. The findings provide empirical scaling for plasma parameters like temperature and density relative to initial fill pressures.
