About diagnostics of Z-pinches hot points

Abstract

We present the results of X-ray diagnostics of Z-pinch hot points, formed during fast electrical discharges through exploding Al wires. Experimental data include the pinhole images and X-ray time integrated radiation spectra. These spectra were obtained with high spectral resolution in the range 1.5–2.2 keV, contained the most intensive resonance lines of Al H- and He-like ions. Comparison of the recorded lines width and peak intensities with the corresponding modeled values, enables us to estimate the main hydrodynamical parameters of hot point, such as average temperature and density, being achieved at a moment of its maximum compression. Additionally, on the base of theoretical analysis of the spectral intensities distribution in well-resolved Lyα satellites, the gradient of compression velocities field is concluded. Some features of the investigated lines spectra forming are discussed.

To the Issue of Reconciling Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

“…Experimental (a) and calculated (b) parts of the micropinch spectrum normalized to the intensity of the line Lyβ, in the ionization threshold of the main state of He-like ions. The solid line in the embodiment b) corresponds to a density of 0.1 g/cm 3 , and the dotted line to 0.01 g/cm 3 ; it was assumed that T e = 0.35 keV [11]. Two groups of researchers independently of each other [15,16] reported that in the X-ray spectra of clusters of galaxies they discovered a new line of radiation with energy of 3.57 keV.…”

On the Issue of the Insolvency of the Magnetic Principle of Confinement of Thermonuclear Plasma

“…However, our results are published and, sooner or later, they will attract the attention of leading plasma physics laboratories.In experiments with registration of specific radiation of dense high-temperature plasma with admixture of polyatomic elements, both existence of micropinches & expansion of radiation lines unpredictable by electrodynamics are recorded. 5,6 But these outcomes are quite reliable with theoretical foundations of anticipated compression principle. Such outcomes are recorded especially intensively in experiments with Z-machine,.…”

“…It is on such compositions, by the way, that micropinches always arise, as a partial element of the implementation of the proposed principle of plasma compression. 5 It is pointless to count on the support of leading institutions in the field of thermonuclear fusion, they dismiss any attempts to break their monopoly from the threshold. In addition, the theoretical basis of the proposed method includes not only the concepts of plasma physics, but also such sections of physics as quantum mechanics and the relativistic theory of gravity.which, of course, complicates the examination.…”

Electrical explosion process and amorphous structure of carbon fibers under high-density current pulse igniting intense electron-beam accelerator

“…During the electrical explosion process, a number of phenomena, including instabilities, shunting discharges, and stratification, develop which make the underlying mechanism significantly complicated (Sedoi et al, 1999). It has been found that the initial wire dynamics may affect the development of the instabilities, the formation of precursor plasmas on the axis (Hammer & Sinars, 2001;Politov et al, 2000). However, the exact physical mechanisms of electrical explosion process are far fully characterized.…”
