Spectroscopy and X-Radiation from Exploded-Wire Arrays and Gas Puff Plasmas.

Abstract

In this report results are presented for three separate experiments involving multiple exploded wire arrays and puff gas plasmas. The first section deals with the analysis and interpretation of x-ray line spectra from a variety of exploded multiple wire arrays including Al, glass, Ti, SS, Mo, and W wires. The second section deals with x-ray spectra from puff gas experiments at PI(Physics International) for Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe gases. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of x-ray spectra from a gas puff Z-pinch device, operated at the University of California, Irvine, that provides both spatial and spectral information of Ar x-ray emission.
