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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
