A high-resolution (100-ps, 100-/spl mu/m) microchannel plate gated pinhole camera to study fast Z-pinch implosions

S. Breeze;L. Ruggles;L. Anderson;C. Deeney;R.B. Spielman;J.L. Porter

IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science. 26th IEEE International Conference (Cat. No.99CH36297)
Year: 1999 | Conference Paper |
Summary form only given as follows. Fast, high current Z-pinch implosions are used to produce intense X-ray pulses for various applications. For high-energy photon production and for inertial fusion applications, the imploding Z pinch can achieve velocities between 50 and 100 cm//spl mu/s. To image such implosions, a high time resolution is needed. Furthermore, the final pinches formed can be only...Show More

Intrinsic resistivity nickel and gold thin film bolometers for pulsed X-ray measurements

J. McGurn;J. McKenney;C. Deeney;C.A. Coverdale;R.B. Spielman;D. Fehl;P. Ryan;G. Chandler

IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science. 26th IEEE International Conference (Cat. No.99CH36297)
Year: 1999 | Conference Paper |
Summary form only given, as follows. The accurate measurements of the emitted X-ray powers and yields from high-current Z pinches are essential in applying Z pinches to inertial fusion energy research, and to studying radiation-material interactions. On the 20-MA Z and the 10-MA Saturn accelerators, 1-/spl mu/m thick nickel and gold bolometers have been employed to measure the total yields and the...Show More

Time-resolved optical spectroscopy measurements of pre-pulse plasma formation on Z

J.E. Bailey;A.L. Carlson;M.E. Cuneo;C. Deeney;P. Lake;R.B. Spielman;K.W. Struve;W.A. Stygar;YH. Maron

IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science. 26th IEEE International Conference (Cat. No.99CH36297)
Year: 1999 | Conference Paper |
Summary form only given. The compression of annular wire arrays in Z-pinch experiments produces large radiation pulses which are useful for high energy density research. The initial transformation of the wire array into a plasma shell impacts the subsequent implosion of the shell because it affects the current distribution, possibly seeding instabilities. On the Z accelerator the initial plasma is...Show More

Topological structure of electrical currents and magnetic surfaces in multi-wire S-pinch

N.B. Volkov;T.A. Golub;R.B. Spielman;N.A. Gondarenko

25th Anniversary, IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (Cat. No.98CH36221)
Year: 1998 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
Summary form only given. A multi-wire S-pinch, represented by a liner of hourglass-type surface with wires turned over the surface, is proposed to use as an effective source of X-ray radiation. Various configurations of design, corresponding to certain topological structure of electrical currents in a load, are considered. Advantages of multi-wire S-pinch compared to conventional Z-pinch loads are...Show More

Resistive heating in Z-pinches

R.B. Spielman;J.S. DeGroot

International Conference on Plasma Sciences (ICOPS)
Year: 1993 | Conference Paper |
Summary form only given. Power balance in Z pinches, especially moderate-Z plasmas, tends to be difficult to reconcile in a conventional interpretation in which the predominant energy source is the conversion of plasma kinetic energy to internal energy. In this case Spitzer resistive heating is small when uniform current flow through the plasma is assumed. Anomalous resistivity via a source like t...Show More
