Filter and Film Method of Measuring the Temperature of a Hot, Dense, Low-Z Plasma from Its Quantum Bremsstrahlung.
Abstract
Results of calculations of the total integrated x-ray quantum bremsstrahlung emission transmitted through absorbers of aluminum, copper and carbon (polyethylene) are presented for a range of plasma temperatures and absorber thickness for both ideal detectors and for film. Such information is useful in obtaining values for the electron temperature in a plasma from measurements of the x-ray continuum emission. (Author)
