Title: A source of hard X-ray radiation based on hybrid X pinches

Abstract

X pinches are well known to produce very small, dense plasma pinches (“hot spots”) that emit sub-nanosecond bursts of 1–8 keV radiation. Hard X-ray radiation in the range from 8 to 300 keV or more is also emitted, and only a small portion of which is associated with the X-pinch hot spot. In hybrid X-pinches (HXP), the 10 ns hard X-ray pulse is terminated by fast closure of the gap between the two conical electrodes of the HXP by rapidly expanding electrode plasmas. The temporal, spectral, and spatial properties of this higher energy radiation have been studied. This radiation was used for point-projection imaging with magnification between 1.5 and 6, and spatial resolution of 20–100 μm was demonstrated..

In this paper, we report on experiments exploring X-ray emission from an X-pinch driven by a small Marx-waterline generator supplying 50 kA with a risetime of 50 ns and a peak voltage of ~250 kV. Both standard crossed wire loads and hybrid loads utilizing conical metal electrodes with a single short wire in between them were studied, and in both cases reliable modes of operation were obtained for X-ray radiography. Soft (few keV) and Hard (>5 keV) X-ray emission characteristics were observed. With standard X-pinches, soft radiation emanated from a small hot spot about 3 μm in size, along withmore »« less

Electron-beam-generated x rays from X pinches

Journal Article Shelkovenko, T A ; Pikuz, S A ; Song, B M ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

X pinches are well known to produce very small, dense plasma pinches ('micropinches') that emit short bursts of 1.5-8 keV radiation [Shelkovenko et al., Phys. Plasmas 9, 2165 (2002)]. X-ray radiation in the 8-100 keV range is also emitted, only a small portion of which is associated with the micropinches. Beginning immediately after the soft x-ray burst, higher energy x-ray emission is observed that is attributed to energetic electrons accelerated in the gaps that appear in the X-pinch plasma structure. The temporal, spectral, and spatial properties of this higher energy radiation (8-100 keV) have been studied using two {approx}0.1 {mu}smore »« less

Dynamics of hybrid X-pinches

Journal Article Shelkovenko, T. A. ; Tilikin, I. N. ; Ivanenkov, G. V. ; ... - Plasma Physics Reports

The dynamics of a new type of pinches—hybrid X-pinches (HXPs)—has been studied experimentally and numerically. The initial configuration of an HXP consists of a high-current diode with conical tungsten electrodes separated by a 1- to 3-mm-long gap and shunted with a 20- to 100-μm diameter wire. It was shown earlier that a hot spot (HS) with high plasma parameters also formed in the HXP, although its initial configuration is simpler than that of a standard X-pinch. Although details of the HXP dynamics still remain insufficiently studied, the main factors governing the HXP formation were investigated both experimentally and using magnetohydrodynamicmore »« less

X-Ray Spectroscopic Studies of X-Pinch Plasmas with 3-5 Picosecond Resolution: A Quest for Clear Experimental Evidence for Radiative Collapse in the X-ray Spectra (Final Report)

Technical Report Hammer, David A.

Dense Z-pinch plasmas produced from current-carrying exploding wires frequently produce very brief (less than 0.1 nanosecond), intense, bursts of soft X-rays from tiny (about 1 micrometer), very hot (10-30 million K) regions of the plasma. This project addresses the physical processes that lead to those tiny, high-energy density plasmas and develops means to measure the conditions just before and during the X-ray bursts. One possible relevant process is radiative collapse, which starts if the power radiated by a dense Z-pinch, proportional to the density-squared, exceeds the resistive heating rate from the current flow, thereby cooling the plasma and enabling themore »« less
