OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO CHARACTERIZE MAGNETIC FIELD COMPRESSION AND SUBSEQUENT MAGNETIZATION EFFECTS IN CYLINDRICALLY IMPLODED PLASMAS. THE STEEP TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS AND THE STRONG MAGNETIC PRESSURE OBTAINED IN MAGNETIZED IMPLOSIONS CAN LEAD TO A MULTITUDE OF EXTENDED-MHD EFFECTS THAT AFFECT THE COMPRESSED MAGNETIC FIELD AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE MAGNETIZED CORE. AT HIGH DENSITIES, THESE EFFECTS STILL REQUIRE VALIDATION BY EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND OUR WORK PAVES THE WAY FOR SUCH STUDIES.
