Substantial progress has been made in developing plasma radiation sources from Z-pinch implosions. University pulsed power machines provide a cost effective platform to study alternative mechanisms of producing x-rays in exploratory experiments that may provide guidance in search of further improvements on the larger machines. Radiation from puff-on-wire implosions were studied by Chuvatin et al....
Argon Z-pinch experiments are to be performed on the refurbished Z machine (which we will refer to as ZR here in order to distinguish between pre-refurbishment Z) at Sandia National Laboratories with a new 8 cm diameter double-annulus gas puff nozzle constructed by Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC). The gas exits the nozzle from an outer and inner annulus and a central jet. The amount of...
A number of shots employing concentric gas puffs of Ar and Kr on the Sandia National Laboratories ZR accelerator are being planned; with the goal of optimizing K-shell yield. Experimental data from these implosions can provide a wealth of information about the pinch dynamics and ionization history of the plasma. Theoretical simulations using accurate atomic and hydrodynamics models will provide synthetic...
