Dynamic behavior of a gas-puff z-pinch plasma and x-ray radiation

  • 1. Nihon Univ., Tokyo (Japan). Coll. of Science and Technology

Description

A gas-puff z-pinch plasma was produced in the SHOTGUN device, in which a hollow initial gas is injected through an annular nozzle on the anode. The contracting plasma showed nonuniformity along the column axis. As the rippling develops, the plasma column is separate into sections, which shrinks by turns from the gas nozzle. The spot images in the x-ray photograph corresponds to the nodes of the rippling. (author)
