Image streak techniques: ISKRA-5 facility X-ray space-time and spectral characteristics recording

Presented below are the X-ray image streak techniques used to study the spectral- and spectral-spatial time behavior of the ISKRA-5 facility laser-irradiated target X-ray radiation. For this purpose, we developed several 0.1-10 keV range X-ray slit streak cameras with 3x10-11-s time resolution. Our X-ray imaging layout made it possible to simultaneously project several target images (in different spectral intervals) to the photocathode and streak them synchroniously. These techniques made it possible to: Study the microsphere target and plasma corona implosion dynamics; investigate the well-adjacent plasma electron temperature behavior; determine the compressed core lifetime; and monitor the state of the external (non-irradiated) target surface. 7 refs., 4 figs
