“…Faraday imaging is not a novel diagnostic approach in pulsed power driven HEDP experiments; similar diagnostics have been developed in order to study the dynamics of fibre implosions, 25 wire array z-pinches and x-pinches, 26-28 gas puffs, 29 and plasma foci, 30 however in those previous experiments probing was carried out using a λ = 532 nm laser (2nd Harmonic ND:YAG). At this wavelength the angles of rotation induced are typically very small (∼1…”

“…9,10 The hot plasma generated with the help of gas-puff loads is an object for studying the fine structure of the spectra of inert gas (Ne, Ar) heliumlike and hydrogenlike ions. 9 In some cases, it would be of interest to extend the scope of the study by considering hot metal plasmas as a subject of inquiry.…”

Use of vacuum arc plasma guns for a metal puff Z-pinch system

The performance of a metal puff Z-pinch system has been studied experimentally. In this type of system, the initial cylindrical shell 4 cm in diameter was produced by ten plasma guns. Each gun initiates a vacuum arc operating between magnesium electrodes. The net current of the guns was 80 kA. The arc-produced plasma shell was compressed by using a 450-kA, 450-ns driver, and as a result, a plasma column 0.3 cm in diameter was formed. The electron temperature of the plasma reached 400 eV at an average ion concentration of 1.85 Á 10 18 cm À3 . The power of the Mg K-line radiation emitted by the plasma for 15-30 ns was 300 MW=cm.
