Summary form only given. Experiments in the last few years at the 20 MA Z Accelerator have produced significant K-shell X-ray output from a variety of initial load materials, including argon (3 keV, >300 kJ), titanium (4.8 keV, 100 kJ), stainless steel (7 keV, >50 kJ), and copper (8.4 keV, 20 kJ). K-shell scaling theories, developed at NRL, were benchmarked against the K-shell emission data...
Summary form only given. Large radius implosions of gas-puff Z-pinches are the subject of intense investigation. Such implosions are needed to achieve the high specific energy required to excite K-line radiation from high-atomic-number (e.g. Z>26) radiators, for proper matching with high-current (~10 MA and higher) generators, for continuum radiator concepts that require heating beyond the optimum...
Summary form only given. In order to implode enough mass to the high specific energies necessary to produce K-shell emission from high Z elements like krypton, large-diameter Z-pinch loads will be required for short current rise time machines, like Z and ZR. For long pulse rise time machines, such as Decade Quad, large diameters are needed for the same reason and, in addition, they are needed to effectively...
