Electron temperature and electron number density measurements in laser ablation Z-pinch experiments of Al ₂ O ₃

Journal Article Dutra, E. C. ; Koch, J. A. ; Presura, R. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Aluminum oxide (Al ₂O ₃) plasma was generated using the Ti:Sapphire/Nd:glass laser and Z-pinch pulse-power generator at the University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada Terawatt Facility. To determine the electron temperature, we use the Boltzmann plot method for the transitions (Al III 4d ²D _3/2 → 4p ²P _1/2) at 451.2564 nm, (Al III 4d ²D _5/2 → 4p ²P _3/2) at 452.9194 nm, (Al III 4p ²P _3/2 → 4s ²S _1/2) at 569.6603, and (Al III 4p ²P _1/2 → 4s ²S _1/2) at 572.2728 nm. Simultaneously, Mach–Zehnder laser interferometry was used to measure the electron number density. We compared simulated spectramore »« less

An experimental study of the dynamics of x-pinch and z-pinch plasmas

Miscellaneous Kalantar, D.H.

X-pinch experiments have been carried out using 12 to 100 {mu}m diameter Al wires with peak currents of 330 to 380 kA. Two wires were placed between the output electrodes of a low inductance pulser so as to cross and touch at a single point, resulting in intense K-shell soft x-ray radiation from a sub-millimeter high temperature (300 to 700 eV) and density (2 x 10{sup 19} to 1 x 10 {sup 21} cm{sup {minus}3}) plasma at the cross point. Single wire z-pinch experiments were conducted for comparison. Additional x-pinch experiments were carried out using up to eight wires atmore »« less
Characteristics and scaling of tungsten-wire-array z-pinch implosion dynamics at 20 MA

Journal Article Cuneo, M.E. ; Waisman, E.M. ; Stygar, W.A. ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

We present observations for 20-MA wire-array z pinches of an extended wire ablation period of 57%{+-}3% of the stagnation time of the array and non-thin-shell implosion trajectories. These experiments were performed with 20-mm-diam wire arrays used for the double-z-pinch inertial confinement fusion experiments [M. E. Cuneo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 215004 (2002)] on the Z accelerator [R. B. Spielman et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2105 (1998)]. This array has the smallest wire-wire gaps typically used at 20 MA (209 {mu}m). The extended ablation period for this array indicates that two-dimensional (r-z) thin-shell implosion models that implicitly assume wiremore »« less

Plasma Confinement by Means of a Rotating Magnetic Field; OPSLUITING VAN PLASMA MET BEHULP VAN EEN DRAAIEND MAGNEETVELD

Technical Report Van Der Laan, P.C.T.

The field and density distributions in the boundary layer of an alternating pinch plasma were calculated for large and small values of nu / omega , where nu /sub c/ is the electron-ion collision frequency and omega is the frequency of the applied field. If nu /sub c/ >> omega , shear is produced in the magnetic lines of force in the skin. For a plasma column in equilibrium, the calculated field distribution satisfies, under certain conditions, the stability criterion of Suydam. From this result a number of requirements for alternating pinches can be derived. The validity' of the theorymore »« less
Study of the internal structure, instabilities, and magnetic fields in the dense Z-pinch

Technical Report Ivanov, Vladimir V.

Z-pinches are sources of hot dense plasma which generates powerful x-ray bursts and can been applied to various areas of high-energy-density physics (HEDP). The 26-MA Z machine is at the forefront of many of these applications, but important aspects of HEDP have been studied on generators at the 1 MA current level. Recent development of laser diagnostics and upgrade of the Leopard laser at Nevada Terawatt Facility (NTF) give new opportunities for the dense Z-pinch study. The goal of this project is the investigation of the internal structure of the stagnated Z pinch including sub-mm and micron-scale instabilities, plasma dynamics,more »« less
