The structure of a proposed several-megaamperes discharge created along a narrow filament of laser-produced ionization through a high-density deuterium-tritium gas mixture is discussed. This initiation technique provides a convenient method for creating long straight gas-embedded z pinches (or screw pinches if a Bz is included) which may be of thermo-nuclear interest.
