Abstract
A gas valve capable of independently controlling the gas pressure and composition in a three-layer puff is described. The valve is intended for use in Z-pinch experiments and provides a pressure of up to 10(5) Pa at the entrance of a supersonic jet nozzle with an outer puff diame ter of up to 8 cm. The autonomous control is provided by a system of i ndependent gas inlets for each layer. The azimuthal asymmetry is achie ved by using mixers leveling the gas pressure at the nozzle entrance.
