Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-resolved x-ray pinhole photographs and time-integrated radially-resolved x-ray crystal-spectrometer measurements of azimuthally-symmetric aluminum-wire implosions suggest that the densest phase of the pinch is composed of a hot plasma core surrounded by a cooler plasma halo. The slope of the free-bound x-ray continuum, provides a time-resolved, model-independent diagnostic of the core electron temperature. A simultaneous measurement of the time-resolved K-shell line spectra provides the electron temperature of the spatially averaged plasma. Together, the two diagnostics support a 1-D Radiation-Hydrodynamic model prediction of a plasma whose thermalization on axis produces steep radial gradients in temperature, from temperatures in excess of a kilovolt in the core to below a kilovolt in the surrounding plasma halo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results from the last six years of x-ray spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry of high energy density Z-pinch plasmas complemented by experiments with the electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are presented. The two topics discussed are the development of M-shell x-ray W spectroscopic diagnostics and K-shell Ti spectropolarimetry of Z-pinch plasmas. The main focus is on radiation from a specific load configuration called an 'X-pinch'. X-pinches are excellent sources for testing new spectral diagnostics and for atomic modelling because of the high density and temperature of the pinch plasmas, which scale from a few [mu]m to several mm in size. They offer a variety of load configurations, which differ in wire connections, number of wires, and wire materials. In this work the study of X-pinches with tungsten wires combined with wires from other, lower-Z materials is reported. Utilizing data produced with the LLNL EBIT at different energies of the electron beam the theoretical prediction of line positions and intensity of M-shell W spectra were tested and calibrated. Polarization-sensitive X-pinch experiments at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) provide experimental evidence for the existence of strong electron beams in Ti and Mo X-pinch plasmas and motivate the development of x-ray spectropolarimetry of Z-pinch plasmas. This diagnostic is based on the measurement of spectra recorded simultaneously by two spectrometers with different sensitivity to the linear polarization of the observed lines and compared with theoretical models of polarization-dependent spectra. Polarization-dependent K-shell spectra from Ti X-pinches are presented and compared with model calculations and with spectra generated by a quasi-Maxwellian electron beam at the LLNL EBIT-II electron beam ion trap.

Download or read book Physics of High-Density Z-Pinch Plasmas written by Michael A. Liberman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "z pinch" is a deceptively simple plasma configuration in which a longitudinal current produces a magnetic field that confines the plasma. Z-pinch research is currently one of the fastest growing areas of plasma physics, with revived interest in z-pinch controlled fusion reactors along with investigations of new z-pinch applications, such as very high power x-ray sources, high-energy neutrons sources, and ultra-high magnetic fields generators. This book provides a comprehensive review of the physics of dense z pinches and includes many recent experimental results.
Book Synopsis Diagnostic Development and Plasma-material Interaction Studies on the ZaP-HD Device by : Eleanor Glynis Forbes
Download or read book Diagnostic Development and Plasma-material Interaction Studies on the ZaP-HD Device written by Eleanor Glynis Forbes and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ZaP-HD Flow Z-Pinch device was designed to investigate the use of a tri-axial electrode configuration to scale a sheared-flow stabilized Z pinch to high energy density conditions. Decoupling the power used to form the plasma from the power used to compress the pinch has resulted in temperatures and densities of 1 keV and 1 x 1018cm−3 during quiescent periods of up to 60 microseconds. After demonstrating improved performance through the use of two power supplies, the ZaP-HD machine has seen further use as a test-bed for diagnostic development and high energy density plasma-material interactions (PMI). Two novel diagnostics have been fielded on the ZaP-HD machine: time-resolved spectroscopy and three-dimensional digital holographic interferometry (DHI). Time-resolved spectroscopy is used to make simultaneous measurements of plasma temperature and velocity over the course of the plasma lifetime. Three-dimensional DHI is used to reconstruct the full 3D electron density structure of approximately three centimeters of the length of the Z-pinch. These two diagnostics used in concert with magnetic field probes and other measurements provide a detailed history of the Z-pinch behavior and give comprehensive information on the variation in pinch performance with initial conditions. A series of experiments were performed to better understand the role of plasma kinetic and thermal energy in material target deformation in high-energy density plasmas. Graphite and boron-nitride targets were exposed to plasmas of varying temperatures and velocities. Plasma behavior was monitored with a diagnostic suite and the targets were examined with high-resolution surface diagnostics to characterize any deformation caused by plasma exposure. Significant differences in the surface structure are seen for graphite targets. Features vary with plasma ion energy and with orientation to the plasma flow. Energy deposition and sputtering yield are calculated for various parameters. Targets exposed to high-energy plasma pulses are found to exceed the BN and graphite sublimation temperature. The data are used to calculate graphite erosion times and may be useful for designing electrodes on future experiments and reactor concepts.
Book Synopsis Z-pinch Diagnostics, Plasma and Liner Instabilities and New X-ray Techniques by :
Download or read book Z-pinch Diagnostics, Plasma and Liner Instabilities and New X-ray Techniques written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulse power experiments of the last several decades have contributed greatly to the understanding of high temperature and high density plasmas and, more recently, to the study of hydrodynamic effects in thick imploding cylinders. Common to all these experiments is the application of a large current pulse to a cylindrically symmetric load, with the resulting Lorenz force compressing the load to produce hydrodynamic motion and/or high temperature, high density plasma. In Los Alamos, Pulsed power experiments are carried out at two facilities. Experiments at low current (from several million to ten million Amperes) are conducted on the Pegasus II capacitor bank. Experiments with higher currents (10's to 100's MA range) are performed in Ancho Canyon with the explosively driven Procyon and MAGO magnetic flux compression generator systems. In this paper, the authors present a survey of diagnostic capabilities and results from several sets of experiments. First, they discuss the initiation and growth of instabilities in plasmas generated from the implosion of hollow z-pinches in the pegasus and Procyon experiments. Next they discuss spectroscopic data from the plasmas produced by the MAGO system. They also show time resolved imaging data from thick ((approximately) .4 mm) liner implosions. Finally, the authors discuss improvements to x-ray and visible light imaging and spectrographic diagnostic techniques. The emphasis of this paper is not so much a detailed discussion of the experiments, but a presentation of imaging and spectroscopic results and the implications of these observations to the experiments.

Download or read book Spectroscopic Temperature Measurements of Non-equilibrium Plasmas written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characterization of laser-produced plasmas has required the application of spectroscopic techniques to non-standard conditions where kinetics models have not been extensively tested. The plasmas are produced by the Nova laser for the study of inertial confinement fusion, can be mm in size, and evolve on sub-nanosecond time scales. These targets typically achieve electron temperatures from 2-4 keV and electron densities of 102°-1022 cm−3. The authors have measured the electron temperature of two types of targets: bags of gas and hohlraums, Au cylinders with laser entrance holes in the flat ends. By comparing data from different targets, they examine the time-dependence of spectroscopic plasma diagnostics.
