Abstract
The 6‐TW, 0.4‐Ω pulse generator at Maxwell Laboratories, Inc., was used to create hot, dense plasma pinches by imploding cylindrical arrays of fine aluminum wires. These plasmas have been diagnosed by observing their x‐ray emission at energies above hν∼1 keV. The results of various x‐ray measurements including x‐ray streak photography are presented.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
