Abstract
Sausage and kink growth rates for a Z pinch are computed from ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for an infinitely thin surface current sheath and for a surface current layer of finite width. The growth rate decreases with increasing layer width. Satisfactory agreement with experiment is obtained for reasonable width estimates based on magnetic field diffusion.
