Summary form only given. X-ray spectrometers used in modern high energy density (HED) plasma experiments must provide high time, space, and spectral resolution while overcoming the difficulties imposed by the environment, including x-ray background, debris, and mechanical shocks. At the Z facility these problems are addressed using a suite of elliptical crystal spectrometers. The elliptical geomet...Show More
Summary form only given. Analysis of time gated pin hole camera data has provided measurements of shock velocity in dynamic hohlraum experiments. A novel method for determining the center of the image using a least squares fit to multiple radii versus angle measurements of the shock front has been developed. Shock speeds of order 30 cm/mus have been measured. Additionally, the uniformity of the sh...Show More
Summary form only given. The 1 MA Zebra generator has been used to generate plasmas from aluminum wires configured as an X-pinch. X-pinch plasmas are characterized by high-brightness, highly localized emission of >1 keV X-rays. These X-pinch experiments used three different wire types: pure aluminum, an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and pure aluminum coated with magnesium bands. The Mg bands were posi...Show More
