摘要：
The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories drives 20 MA in 100 ns through a cylindrical array of fine wires which implodes due to the strong j x B force, generating up to 250 TW of soft x-ray radiation when the z-pinch plasma stagnates on axis. The copious broadband self-emission makes the dynamics of the implosion well suited to diagnosis with soft x-ray imaging and spectroscopy. A monochromatic self-emission imaging instrument has recently been developed on Z which reflects pinhole images from a multilayer mirror onto a I ns gated microchannel plate detector. The multilayer can be designed to provide narrowband (similar to 10 eV) reflection in the 100-700 eV photon energy range, allowing observation of the soft emission from acereting mass as it assembles into a hot, dense plasma column on the array axis. In the present instrument configuration, data at 277 eV photon energy have been obtained for plasmas ranging from Al to W, and the z-pinch implosion and stagnation will be discussed along with > I keV self-emission imaging and spectroscopy. Collisional-radiative simulations are currently being pursued in order to link the imaged emissivity to plasma temperature and density profiles and address the role of opacity in interpreting the data.
