Summary form only given. The UV laser probing at 266 nm is a promising diagnostics for the Z-pinch plasma. Laser diagnostics at the wavelength 532 nm are not applicable for Z-pinches with an electron plasma density ne>5-1019 cm-3 because of the strong inverse bremsstrahlung absorption and refraction of the probing beam. UV laser probing has a significant advantage because the absorption increment...
Streaked visible-light spectroscopy measurements are presented for aluminum (Al) wire-array z-pinch experiments on the 1-MA, 100-ns rise-time COBRA pulsed-power generator. For these measurements, a half-meter Czerny- Turner spectrometer was used in conjunction with the COBRA visible-light streak camera system. This allowed us to record visible-light spectra emitted from Al coronal plasma as a continuous...
Experiments are conducted on the 16-wire aluminum Z-pinch arrays with both slow and fast risetimes wherein the initiation, ablation, implosion, and stagnation phases are compared for both soldered and unsoldered arrays. Time-dependent X-ray signals and self-emission data are measured and collected using a XUV 4-frame camera and an optical streak camera. Results show that in negative polarity, soldering...
