Summary form only given. The Nevada Terawatt Facility (NTF) consists of a 1 MA, 2 Z-pinch, carrying out 350 shots a year, and a 50 TW, 350 fs, one micron glass laser. Plasma diagnostics include a multiframe laser probe, optical and x-ray imaging, particle diagnostics, and x-ray spectroscopy. More recent diagnostic developments include UV shadowgraphy and UV interferometry. The NTF generates TW x-ray...
Recent wire-array Z-pinch experiments performed on the MAGPIE generator at Imperial College are presented at currents up to 1.5 MA. Experiments have been conducted using a variety of array configurations, including radial wire arrays, cylindrical arrays, and coiled arrays.
We describe the design and use of a trio of modest spatial (~3 mm) resolution X-ray "streak" cameras using 3 linear arrays of photoconducting diamonds (PCDs). By multiplexing 3 pixels onto each recording channel with delay lines, a practical number of high speed (5 GS/s) digitizers can record the data from the arrays. An imaging slit is positioned transverse to the linear arrays. With appropriate...
This report is devoted to the structured Z-pinch with long time implosion. Experiments were carried out on GIT 12 inductive storage. In the experiment with an outer gas puff and an inner wire array, we have been able to attain efficient switching of the current on a level of 2.1 MA into the wire array. The total implosion time was 300 ns, while the time of implosion of the wire array was not over...
