Axial x-ray backlighting of wire-array Z-pinches using X pinches.
For the first time, a geometry has been developed to allow for an axial imaging system for wire-array Z-pinch experiments that produce high-resolution x-ray images. The new geometry required a significant redesign of the electrode hardware. Calibrated areal density measurements of the Z-pinch plasma including wire cores, coronal plasma, streaming plasma, and the precursor were obtained. The sys...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Measurements in Wire-Array Z- Pinches and X Pinches
We are investigating novel techniques to obtain time-dependent magnetic field measurements in wire-array Z-pinches and X-pinches. An ideal method would be emission spectroscopy (Zeeman splitting of lines, for example, in the visible or VUV spectrum), as it would be entirely passive and non-perturbing. However, a spectroscopic method to determine the high magnetic fields present in megampere lev...
متن کاملImplosion dynamics and x-ray generation in small-diameter wire-array Z pinches.
It is known from experiments that the radiated x-ray energy appears to exceed the calculated implosion kinetic energy and Spitzer resistive heating [C. Deeney, Phys. Rev. A 44, 6762 (1991)] but possible mechanisms of the enhanced x-ray production are still being discussed. Enhanced plasma heating in small-diameter wire arrays with decreased calculated kinetic energy was investigated, and a revi...
متن کاملNanoscale Ultradense Z-Pinch Formation from Laser-Irradiated Nanowire Arrays.
We show that ultradense Z pinches with nanoscale dimensions can be generated by irradiating aligned nanowires with femtosecond laser pulses of relativistic intensity. Using fully three-dimensional relativistic particle-in-cell simulations, we demonstrate that the laser pulse drives a forward electron current in the area around the wires. This forward current induces return current densities of ...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
