A Detailed Postprocess Analysis of an Argon Gas Puff Z-pinch Plasma Using SPEC2D
نویسنده
چکیده
A postprocess analysis of a single time frame hydrodynamic profile from the PRISM two-dimensional MHD simulation of an argon gas puff Z-pinch plasma experiment on Double-Eagle generator at Physics Internationals, Co. is presented. In addition, spatially resolved emission spectra and filtered (Kand L-shell radiation) x-ray pinhole images, generated using the SPEC2D code, are examined toward the understanding of the emission characteristics of the hot spots and the formation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the plasma.

متن کاملDynamic Behavior of Debris in a Gas-Puff Z-Pinch
Z-pinch is a useful device for efficient energy injection to the plasma. High-temperature and high-density plasmas can be produced easily in the implosion process by self-magnetic field. Because the radiation from z-pinch plasma lie in various wavelength region, the application to pulsed and intense light source such as Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) light for the next generation semiconductor lith...
متن کاملDemonstration of soft x-ray lasing with neonlike argon and nickel-like xenon ions using a laser-irradiated gas puff target.
We report the first demonstration of soft x-ray amplification in an elongated plasma column produced by laser irradiation of a gas puff target. The gas puff target is formed by the pulsed injection of gas from a high-pressure solenoid valve through a nozzle in the form of a narrow slit. The plasma column to be used as an x-ray laser active medium is produced by irradiating the gas puff target w...
متن کاملInitial magnetic field compression studies using gas-puff Z-pinches and thin liners on COBRA
This magnetic compression of cylindrical liners filled with DT gas has promise as an efficient way to achieve fusion burn using pulsed-power machines. However, to avoid rapid cooling of the fuel by transfer of heat to the liner an axial magnetic field is required. This field has to be compressed during the implosion since the thermal insulation is more demanding as the compressed DT plasma beco...
متن کاملElectron density and ionization dynamics in an imploding z-pinch plasma
The time-dependent radial distributions of the electron and ion densities during the implosion phase of a gas-puff z-pinch plasma are determined from measurements of continuum radiation, as well as time-dependent collisional-radiative analysis of the observed particle ionization history in the plasma. It is shown that during the 140-ns-long time interval close to the end of the 620-ns-long impl...
