K-shell radiation physics in low- to moderate-atomic-number z-pinch plasmas on the Z accelerator
Dense z-pinches produced by 100 ns implosions of wire arrays or gas puffs produce substantial soft X-ray power. One class of z-pinch radiation sources includes lowto moderate-atomic-number K-shell radiators, such as aluminum and iron. These loads are designed for 1–10 keV K-shell X-ray generation, and offer opportunities for crystal spectroscopy that can reveal fundamental properties of the pla...
متن کاملExplosive Z Pinch
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 ∼ 0.5MeV is responsible for the emergence of the electron and its neutrino.
متن کاملMicrotearing modes in reversed field pinch plasmas.
In the reversed field pinch RFX-mod strong electron temperature gradients develop when the single-helical-axis regime is achieved. Gyrokinetic calculations show that in the region of the strong temperature gradients microtearing instabilities are the dominant turbulent mechanism acting on the ion Larmor radius scale. The quasilinear evaluation of the electron thermal conductivity is in good agr...
متن کاملThe Effect of Neutral Atoms on Capillary Discharge Z-Pinch
Z-pinch collapse has been extensively studied since the late 50s, being a simple and effective way of producing hot and dense plasma. In this process, an electric current flowing through a plasma column, interacts with its self magnetic field, and the resulting force contracts the plasma column in the radial direction. Today Z-pinch plasma is widely used for various applications such as high po...
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...
