Description
A microchannel plate intensified grazing incidence spectrometer (McPIGs) produces three spatially resolved 10 ns time frames of XUV spectra emitted by multiterawatt Z pinches. As Z pinches are copious radiators at these wavelengths, the McPIGs is well suited to diagnose these plasmas. Data obtained in the course of research on plasma radiation sources and x-ray lasers will be presented, where the time-resolved spectra are radially resolved to give radial line profiles and to measure Doppler splitting as a velocity diagnostic
