Explosive Z Pinch

Abstract

We propose an explanation for the recently observed powerful contained explosion in a Z pinch experiment performed at Sandia National Laboratories. Our arguments are based on the assumption that a pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory of scale $\sim 0.5$MeV is responsible for the emergence of the electron and its neutrino.
