Results are presented from experiments on the X-ray backlighting of the axial region of an imploding high-current multiwire liner. Backlighting was performed with the use of an X-pinch serving as a source of soft X-ray emission, which was recorded by pin diodes. The use of several filters with different passbands in front of the pin diodes allowed the interpretation of the results of measurements in experiments with cascade composite liners. The sensitivity of the diagnostics was ≈125 µg/cm2 for a plasma of high-Z elements (W) and ≈220 µg/cm2 for a plasma of low-Z elements (C, O, N) at a photon energy of the probing radiation of 1.0–1.5 keV. An advantage of the method is its high time resolution (≈1 ns) and the possibility of the separation in time of the emission bursts from Z-and X-pinches on the liner axis. The method does not impose restrictions on the pulse duration of the backlighting radiation source. 相似文献

Results are presented from the studies of the magnetic implosion of a tungsten wire liner onto an aluminum wire at currents
of 2.0–2.6 MA. The experiments were carried out in the S-300 high-power pulsed facility at the Russian Research Centre Kurchatov
Institute. The liner is composed of 50 wires 6 μm in diameter and 1 cm in length, which are equally spaced on a circle 1 cm
in diameter. An aluminum wire 120 μm in diameter is positioned at the array axis. The liner implosion was accompanied by the
generation of VUV and soft X-ray emission. The parameters of the pinch plasma produced during the liner implosion onto the
aluminum wire were determined from the time-resolved spectral measurements by a five-channel polychromator. The ion and electron
densities turned out to be equal to n
i≈4×1019 cm−3 and n
e≈4×1020 cm−3, respectively, and the electron temperature was T
e≈40 eV. The radiation energy measured in the range 50–600 eV was 2–10 kJ. The sources of soft X-ray emission in hydrogen-and
helium-like aluminum lines were the bright spots and local objects (clouds) formed in the plasma corona at an electron temperature
of 200–500 eV and electron density of 1021–1022 cm−3. The possibility of both the generation of an axial magnetic field during the liner implosion and the conversion of the energy
of this field into soft X-ray emission is discussed.

The generation of accelerated electrons in the X-pinch minidiode is studied experimentally. It is well known that the explosion of an X-pinch consisting of two or more wires is accompanied by the formation of a minidiode, in which electrons are accelerated. The subsequent slowing down of electrons in the products of wire explosion causes the generation of hard X-ray (HXR) emission with photon energies higher than 10 keV. In this work, the spatial and temporal characteristics of X-pinch HXR emission are studied, the specific features of HXR generation are discussed, and the capability of applying this radiation to point-projection X-ray imaging of various plasma and biological objects is considered. The parameters of the electron beam produced in the X-pinch are measured using a Faraday cup and X-ray diagnostics. The experiments were performed with the XP generator (550 kA, 100 ns) at Cornell University (United States) and the BIN generator (270 kA, 150 ns) at the Lebedev Physical Institute (Russia). 相似文献

Knowledge of spatial mass distribution is important for understanding the physics of implosion of megaampere-current wire arrays. The paper presents results from studying the electron density distribution at the periphery of a tungsten wire array near the instant of maximum compression by using laser interferometry at λ=0.69 µm. It is found that, at the instant of maximum compression (~100 ns after the beginning of the discharge), the estimated maximum local electron density inside the wire array reaches ~1018 cm?3 at a distance of 0.3–3 mm from the initial wire positions. Assuming the average tungsten ion charge to be 10, the local linear mass density in this region turns out to be 3 µg/cm, which amounts to about 10% of the total linear mass density of the liner. A fraction of the generator current flows through this plasma. The duration of the soft X-ray pulse is 5–8 ns, which indicates the achievement of a fairly high compression ratio. 相似文献

Raising the power of X-ray emission from an X-pinch by increasing the pinch current to the megampere level requires the corresponding
increase in the initial linear mass of the load. This can be achieved by increasing either the number of wires or their diameter.
In both cases, special measures should be undertaken to prevent the formation of a complicated configuration with an uncontrolled
spatial structure in the region of wire crossing, because such a structure breaks the symmetry of the neck formed in the crossing
region, destabilizes plasma formation, and degrades X-ray generation. To improve the symmetry of the wire crossing region,
X-pinch configurations with a regular multilayer arrangement of wires in this region were proposed and implemented. The results
of experiments with various symmetric X-pinch configurations on the COBRA facility at currents of ∼1MA are presented. It is
shown that an X-pinch with a symmetric crossing region consisting of several layers of wires made of different materials can
be successfully used in megampere facilities. The most efficient combinations of wires in symmetric multilayer X-pinches are
found in which only one hot spot forms and that are characterized by a high and stable soft X-ray yield. 相似文献

A study of the process of implosion of a cylindrical tungsten wire array by electrical and optical methods shows that it involves two phases. In the first phase, the plasma is produced from the dense wire cores under the action of the heat flux from the current-carrying plasma. This plasma then fills the internal space of the liner array. The measured inductance of the liner and its visible diameter vary only slightly in this phase. During the second phase, the total material of the liner is compressed toward the axis and the inductance of the discharge gap increases. The process of the implosion of wire arrays is studied by analyzing the electric parameters (current and voltage) of the load in the Angara-5-1 facility. The time behavior of the load inductance, the average current radius, and the start time of the liner compression are determined. The compression start time determined from the visible size of the liner is found to coincide with that determined from electric measurements. The compression ratio of the liner in terms of the average current radius turns out to be lower than that measured by optical and X-ray diagnostics. The reason is that, by the instant of maximum compression, only a portion of the current flows at the periphery of the initial wire array. 相似文献

Evolution of the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) emission in the 50-to 2000-eV photon energy range from a plasma corona formed by loading a relatively thick Cu wire (with an initial diameter of 120 µm) was observed in a Z-pinch discharge with a maximum current of 2 MA and current rise time of 100 ns. A diagnostic complex consisting of a five-channel SXR polychromator, a four-frame X-ray pinhole camera, and a mica crystal spectrograph shows that double-humped emission pulses in the XUV and SXR spectral ranges are generated 70–130 ns after the onset of the discharge current. The total energy of the pulses is 5 kJ, and the maximum power is 60 GW. A part of the observed kiloelectronvolt X-ray emission from three to five spots with diameters of 1–2 mm consists of the Cu K-and L-shell lines. 相似文献

A multichannel Thomson scattering diagnostics for measuring the plasma parameters in the GOL-3 facility was designed and created
at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The diagnostics operates
at the fundamental harmonic of a neodymium laser (1.06 μm) and allows one to perform measurements over a wide range of electron
temperatures and densities with high spatial and time resolutions. A special multipulse oscillator is developed that makes
it possible to perform up to 20 measurements of the plasma temperature and density over a period of 300 μs during one shot.
The laser used to generate probing radiation, the recording system, and the calibration procedure are described. Results from
measurements of the temporal evolution of the plasma density in the GOL-3 in different stages of the discharge are presented
to illustrate the system operation.

Results are presented from time-integrated measurements of soft X-ray emission from Z-pinches during the implosion of simple and nested wire arrays. The blackening density distribution obtained with the help of a pinhole camera is recalculated into the time-integrated Z-pinch radiance. It is found that, in the case of a simple wire array, up to 70% of the total SXR energy emitted during a discharge is radiated from the axial region, the rest of energy being radiated from plasma jets, whereas in the case of a nested wire array, more than 90% of the SXR energy is radiated from the axial region. 相似文献

It is shown that the development of instabilities in a Z-pinch plasma formed by loading a relatively thick Al wire (an initial
diameter of 120 μm and a maximum discharge current of 2–3 MA) is slowed down due to the high plasma density in the wire corona.
A cylindrically symmetric, regular, and stable corona surrounding the wire contains a helical formation with a dense, cold,
and magnetized plasma. X-ray pulses with a photon energy of several keV and an FWHM duration of 10–20 ns are generated by
a few imploded neck structures in the pinch phase of the corona evolution (70–100 ns after the current onset). The main part
of X radiation emitted by individual bright spots in the photon energy range 1.5–2.4 keV (up to 40 J at a peak power of 4
GW) consists of the continuum and the bound-bound transition radiation from H-and He-like Al ions. A possible scenario for
the axial magnetic field evolution during an X-ray pulse is outlined.

A review of studies on the X-pinch as a radiation source for X-ray projection shadow radiography (XPSR) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is presented. The ultimate capabilities of the techniques and ways of their achievement are considered. XPSR has been successfully used to study high-energy-density plasma objects, in particular, exploding wires and wire arrays. Using XPSR, the internal structure and dynamics of a wire explosion and wire array implosion have been investigated for the first time, which has made it possible to develop an adequate consistent theory of the processes occurring in the wire loads of generators with currents from several units of kiloamperes to a few tens of megamperes. The use of XAS for diagnostics of wire loads has allowed one for the first time to measure the parameters of matter in the wire core and plasma corona of the load. X-ray images of various biological objects have obtained, including those with the use of the phase contrast method. This review is a logical continuation of the review “Х-Pinch” [Plasma Phys. Rep. 41, 319, 493 (2015)], in which the Х-pinch as a physical object was considered. 相似文献

Distribution of matter in the discharge channel formed upon a nanosecond electrical explosion of a single wire in air and
vacuum was studied experimentally. Simultaneous use of optical, UV, and X-ray diagnostics made it possible to distinguish
qualitatively different regions of the discharge channel, such as the current-carrying layers and the region occupied by a
weakly conducting cold plasma. Several series of experiments with 25-μm-diameter 12-mm-long wires made of different materials
were performed. The charging voltage and the current amplitude were varied in the ranges of U
0 = 10–20 kV and I
max ∼ 5–10 kA, respectively. Explosion regimes with a current pause and with and without current interruption, as well as with
wire preheating in air and vacuum, were studied. Shadow and schlieren images of the discharge channel were obtained using
optical probing at the second harmonic of a YAG: Nd+3 laser (λ = 0.532 μm, τ ∼ 10 ns). In the experiments carried out in vacuum, X-ray images of the discharge channel were also
obtained using an X-pinch as a point source of probing radiation and UV images were recorded using a four-frame MCP camera. 相似文献

The phenomenon of magnetic flux breakthrough into a wire array during its implosion was studied experimentally at the Angara-5-1 facility. It is shown that breakthroughs develop in the final stage of plasma production from the wire material and occur near the initial wire position. The spatial distributions of the azimuthal magnetic field within tungsten, molybdenum, copper, and aluminum wire arrays were studied using magnetic probes. The distributions of the azimuthal magnetic field B φ(z, t) along the array height in different stages of implosion were measured, and the characteristic dimensions of regions with a nonuniform magnetic field that appear during magnetic flux breakthroughs at the outer boundary of the wire array plasma were determined. The dimensions of these regions are compared with those of the regions with depressed plasma radiation observed in frame and time-integrated X-ray images. The dynamics of the distribution B φ(z, t) in regions with a nonuniform magnetic field during breakthroughs of the azimuthal magnetic flux is compared with that of the spatial distribution of pinch radiation in the frame X-ray images in different stages of implosion. The experimental data on the characteristics of spatially nonuniform breakthroughs of the magnetic flux into the wire array are analyzed using the plasma rainstorm model proposed by V.V. Aleksandrov et al. (JETP 97, 745 (2003)). The plasma density in the region of magnetic flux breakthrough is estimated. 相似文献

Results are presented from experiments on the implosion of wire arrays powered from 100-and 200-mm-diameter helical explosive magnetocumulative generators with explosive opening switches. The experiments were performed at load currents of up to 4 MA, the current rise time being 0.3–0.4 μs. The maximum soft X-ray yield of ~ 100 kJ was achieved at a pinch plasma temperature of 55 eV. A two-dimensional MHD code was developed to simulate the process of liner implosion and the generation of X-ray emission. The results of computer simulations agree satisfactorily with the experimental data. 相似文献

The features are studied of plasma production in the initial stage of implosion of hollow cylindrical wire arrays at electric-field growth rates of 1012 V/(cm s). The results are presented from the analysis of both UV emission from the wire plasma and the discharge parameters in the initial stage of the formation of a Z-pinch discharge. It is found that, a few nanoseconds after applying voltage to a tungsten wire array, a plasma shell arises on the wire surface and the array becomes a heterogeneous system consisting of metal wire cores and a plasma surrounding each wire (a plasma corona). As a result, the current switches from the wires to the plasma. A further heating and ionization of the wire material are due primarily to heat transfer from the plasma corona. A model describing the primary breakdown along the wires is created with allowance for the presence of low-Z impurities on the wire surface. 相似文献

Results are presented from measurements of the anisotropy of energy losses in high-current Z-pinches produced by the implosion of wire arrays at the ANGARA-5-1 facility at load currents of up to 4MA. The energy losses were measured in the radial direction and along the pinch axis from the anode side. The main diagnostics were time-integrated thermocouple calorimeters, nanosecond X-ray diodes (XRDs) with different filters, and a foil radiation calorimeter with a time resolution of 2 μs. The azimuthal anisotropy of energy losses was measured for different wire array configurations and different shapes of the high-voltage electrode. The presence of strong initial azimuthal inhomogeneity of the wire mass distribution (sectioned arrays), as well as the use of conical electrodes instead of plane ones, does not increase the azimuthal inhomogeneity of the total energy losses. For cylindrical wire arrays, energy losses in the radial direction are compared with those along the pinch axis. According to XRD and calorimetric measurements, the radiation yield per unit solid angle along the pinch axis is two to three times lower than that in the radial direction. In the axial direction, the energy flux density of the expanding plasma is two to three times lower than the radiation intensity. The measured radiation yield across the pinch is 2.5–5 kJ/sr, while that along the pinch axis is 1–2 kJ/sr. The results obtained by means of XRDs agree to within measurement errors with those obtained using the radiation calorimeter. It is found that the energy per unit solid angle carried by the expanding plasma in the radial direction does not exceed 10% of the soft X-ray yield. Analysis of the structure of time-integrated pinhole images and signals from the radial and axial XRDs shows that radiation emitted in the radial direction from the hot central region of the pinch is partially screened by the less dense surrounding plasma halo, whereas radiation emitted in the axial direction is a superposition of the emissions from the hot dense central region of the pinch and the colder less dense peripheral plasma. 相似文献

Large-scale plasma oscillations (so-called MHD oscillations) observed at the T-10 tokamak are investigated. The central electron cyclotron heating was used to enhance oscillations at the m/n = 1/1 mode with the goal of determining the internal characteristics of the process. The spatially resolved electron cyclotron emission diagnostics allowed analyzing the propagation characteristics of plasma perturbations. The experiments have revealed that excitation of oscillations in a particular mode occur simultaneously in the entire area located within the corresponding rational magnetic surface. The propagation of plasma perturbations along the torus is found to be inhomogeneous. The electron cyclotron emission diagnostics allowed finding eigen (resonance) frequencies of plasma oscillations from the parameters of their inhomogeneous propagation in the plasma core and comparing them with spectra of oscillations of the magnetic field induced by the plasma current in the edge plasma, which were recorded by magnetic probes. It is established that the frequencies of eigenmodes are independent of the electron temperature, plasma density, and auxiliary heating power. Even spatial harmonics of the principal magnetic surface are observed under strong excitation of oscillations. The rational magnetic surfaces that determine oscillation harmonics retain their position during the entire steady-state phase of the total plasma current in spite of the strong sharpening of the temperature profile due to central heating. 相似文献

Results are presented from experiments on the implosion of simple and nested wire arrays of different mass and material composition (W and/or Al). The experiments were performed on the S-300 facility (a high-current pulsed power generator with a voltage pulse amplitude of 700 kV, current amplitude of 2.5–3.5 MA, and pulse duration of 100 ns) at the Kurchatov Institute (Moscow). The imploding arrays were recorded using five-frame laser shadowgraphy, three-frame image-tube photography, an optical streak camera, X-ray pinhole cameras with different filters, X-ray polychromator, and X-ray spectrometer on the basis of a convex mica crystal. Laser probing measurements indicate that the current-carrying structure undergoes a fast (over a time shorter than 10 ns) global rearrangement, which manifests itself as the emergence of transparent regions. This effect is presumably related to the grouping of the wires, which carry currents of a few tens of kiloamperes, or to the current filamentation in their common plasma corona. The radiation of liners of different chemical composition in the final compressed state has been investigated. Electric measurements performed in experiments with nested arrays (e.g., with an aluminum outer liner and a tungsten inner liner) indicate that the inner array, which is still at rest, intercepts the electric current from the outer array when the latter penetrates through it. The effect of the “fall” of the outer liner through the inner one in the course of magnetic implosion has been revealed for the first time by analyzing X-ray emission spectra. 相似文献

The development of a preformed constriction in cylindrical agar-agar loads at currents of up to 3 MA is studied experimentally.
The loads 3–5 mm in diameter have a mass density of 0.1 g/cm3 and are filled with different materials. Due to the implosion of the constriction to a minimum size of 40–70 μm, a hot dense
plasma (with the electron density n
e=1022 cm−3, electron temperature T
e=0.8–1.5 keV, and ion temperature T
i=3–12 keV) is produced. It is found that the ion temperature substantially exceeds the electron temperature. The lifetime
of the high-temperature plasma determined from the FWHM of a soft X radiation (SXR) pulse is shorter than 5 ns, the radiation
power of photons with energies of ≥1 keV is higher than 0.5×1010 W, and their total energy attains 50 J. High-speed photography in the VUV, SXR, and optical spectral regions indicates the
protracted generation of the high-temperature plasma. Calculations by the two-dimensional ideal MHD model of the Z-pinch show
that the most important consequence of the protracted plasma generation in the constriction region is that the current is
intercepted by a freshly produced plasma. In the course of plasma generation, the current near the axis inside the region
of radius 50 μm is at most one-half of the total current. After the plasma generation comes to an end, almost the entire current
is concentrated in this region for several nanoseconds; this process is accompanied by a sharp increase in the plasma temperature.

Results are presented from experimental studies of the structure of the compressed plasma of a Z-pinch produced during the implosion of a foam-wire load at the current of up to 3 MA. The foam-wire load consisted of two nested cylindrical cascades, one of which was a solid or hollow cylinder made of low-density agar-agar foam, while the other was a wire array. The wall thickness of a hollow foam cylinder was 100–200 μm. The images of the pinch and its spectrum obtained with the help of multiframe X-ray cameras and a grazing incidence spectrograph with a spatial resolution were analyzed. Data on the spatial structure of the emitting regions and the soft X-ray (SXR) spectrum of the Z-pinch in the final stage of compression of a foam-wire load were obtained. The implosion modes characterized by the formation of hot regions during implosion of such loads were revealed. The characteristic scale lengths of the hot regions were determined. It is shown that the energy distribution of SXR photons in the energy range from 80 eV to 1 keV forms the spatial structure of Z-pinch images recorded during the implosion of foam-wire loads. It is revealed that the spectral density of SXR emission in the photon energy range of 300–600 eV from hot Z-pinch regions exceeds the spectral density of radiation from the neighboring Z-pinch regions by more than one order of magnitude. Groups of lines related to the absorption and emission of radiation by atoms and multicharged ions of carbon and oxygen in the outer foam cascade of a foam-wire load were recorded for the first time by analyzing the spatial distribution of the SXR spectra of multicharged ions of the Z-pinch. The groups of absorption lines of ions (C III, O III, O IV, and O VI) corresponding to absorption of SXR photons in the Z-pinch of a tungsten wire array, which served as the inner cascade of a foam-wire load, were identified. The plasma electron temperature measured from the charge composition of carbon and oxygen ions in the outer agar-agar foam cascade was 10–40 eV. During the implosion of foam-wire loads at currents of up to 3 MA, SXR pulses (hν > 100 eV) with a duration of 10 ns and peak power of 3 TW were detected. It is shown that the temporal profile of single-peak and double-peak SXR pulses can be controlled by varying the parameters of the outer and inner cascades of the foam-wire load. 相似文献
