Dynamics of Pulsed X-Ray Radiation of a Plasma Micropinch Discharge

Resumo

A complex of diagnostic equipment has been created and a measurement procedure has been developed for a multi-channel scintillation X-ray spectrometer with nanosecond time resolution in the energy range of 2–70 keV. The dynamics of the spectral composition of pulsed X-ray plasma of a micropinch discharge has been studied using a “low-inductance vacuum spark” facility. The conducted studies made possible to obtain experimental results of the dynamics of the electron temperature T_e of plasma during micropinch discharge and to determine the sequence of formation of hard X-ray radiation.
