Description

Time- and space-resolved filtered pinhole photography and crystal X-ray spectroscopy have been used to diagnose K-shell emission from nickel wire array implosions on the DNA/Double-EAGLE 6TW generator. In this paper, results are presented which show electron beam induced Ni Kα emission prior to and during a rapid localized heating of the plasma and the formation of intense hot spots. The observation of hydrogen-like nickel lines from the hot spots is indicative of multi-keV electron temperatures
