✦ Synopsis

This paper reports on a foam liner experiment performed for the first time with the PF 1000 large plasma focus facility. The interaction of the plasma focus current-sheath with the liner was the problem of main interest in our experiment. It was shown that a thin foam liner can be imploded by a coaxial current sheath.
