Abstract
A new analytic, self-similar solution of the fluid equations with losses in a stabilized Z pinch is presented. A scaling is suggested for the net energy loss with plasma density and temperature typical for a Z pinch immersed in an external multipole magnetic field. The solution of the strongly nonlinear system of fluid equations is obtained by self-similar methods. Strongly aharmonic high frequency oscillations of the plasma parameters are found. It is emphasized that a static Z pinch cannot be stabilized by a stationary field of a magnetic multipole. Therefore the potentiality of these oscillations to affect the stability of Z pinches embedded in a magnetic multipole is investigated. The effect of the dynamic stabilization is considered by taking estimates.
