Abstract
XUV and x‐ray emission spectra of the elements carbon, oxygen, neon, and argon, in the spectral range 3–300 Å, generated in a gas‐puff z pinch, are presented. The spectra are analyzed to give time‐integrated measurements of the density, electron temperature, and dimensions of the imploded plasma and the ‘‘hot spots’’ that often occur in the gas‐puff pinch. In particular, dielectronic satellite lines are used to measure the electron density and temperature, and Stark broadening to measure electron density. The effect of optical depth is included.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
