Measurement of the Ionization State and Electron Temperature of Plasma during the Ablation Stage of a Wire-Array Z Pinch Using Absorption Spectroscopy

Journal Article Ivanov, V V ; Hakel, P ; Mancini, R C ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Wire-array plasmas were investigated in the nonradiative ablation stage via x-ray absorption spectroscopy. A laser-produced Sm plasma was used to backlight Al wire arrays. The Sm spectrum was simultaneously observed by two spectrometers: one recorded the unattenuated spectrum and the other the transmission spectrum with 1.45-1.55 keV K-shell absorption lines. Analysis of absorption spectra revealed electron temperature in the range of 10-30 eV and the presence of F-, O-, N- and C-like Al ions in the absorbing plasma. A comparison of this electron temperature with the postprocessed absorption spectra of a 2D MHD simulation yields results in general agreement withmore » the data analysis.« less

Quantitative Analysis of Plasma Ablation Using Inverse Wire Array Z-pinches

Journal Article Harvey-Thompson, A J ; Lebedev, S V ; Bland, S N ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

An inverse (exploding) wire array configuration, in which the wires form a cylinder around a current carrying electrode on axis, was used to study the ablation phase of the pinch. This configuration allows the parameters of the plasma from individual wires of the array to be measured as the ablated plasma streams propagate in the outward radial direction. The density distribution and the evolution of the natural mode of modulation of the ablation was measured with interferometry and soft x-ray imaging. Measurements of the voltage across the array, which in this configuration is determined by the private magnetic flux aroundmore »« less

X-ray absorption spectroscopy of aluminum z-pinch plasma with tungsten backlighter planar wire array source

Journal Article Osborne, G. C. ; Kantsyrev, V. L. ; Safronova, A. S. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Absorption features from K-shell aluminum z-pinch plasmas have recently been studied on Zebra, the 1.7 MA pulse power generator at the Nevada Terawatt Facility. In particular, tungsten plasma has been used as a semi-backlighter source in the generation of aluminum K-shell absorption spectra by placing a single Al wire at or near the end of a single planar W array. All spectroscopic experimental results were recorded using a time-integrated, spatially resolved convex potassium hydrogen phthalate (KAP) crystal spectrometer. Other diagnostics used to study these plasmas included x-ray detectors, optical imaging, laser shadowgraphy, and time-gated and time-integrated x-ray pinhole imagers. Throughmore »« less

Time and space resolved measurement of the electron temperature, mass density and ionization state in the ablation plasma between two exploding Al wires

Journal Article Knapp, P F ; Pikuz, S A ; Shelkovenko, T A ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We have determined the properties of plasma around and between two exploding wires using high-resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Plasma densities and temperatures ranging from Greater-Than-Or-Equivalent-To 0.1g/cm{sup 3} and a few eV to less than 0.01 g/cm{sup 3} and 30 eV have been measured in experiments at Cornell University with two 40 {mu}m aluminum (Al) wires spaced 1 mm apart driven by {approx}150 kA peak current pulses with 100 ns rise time. The wire plasma was backlit by the 1.4-1.6 keV continuum radiation produced by a Mo wire X-pinch. The spectrometer employed two spherically bent quartz crystals to record the absorptionmore »« less
