Description

Two-dimensional spatially resolved K shell spectra from hot (T/sub e/approx. =40--400 eV), dense (n/sub e/approx. =1019--1021 cm-3) aluminum plasmas have been recorded using a convex curved KAP crystal spectrograph in a dispersion mapping mode with an orthogonal imaging slit. The approximately 1-cm-diameter, 2-cm-long cylindrical source was viewed on end, yielding axially and temporally integrated spectra. The relative intensities of the lines and recombination continua were used to estimate local temperatures and densities. The measurement technique is reviewed and representative analysis and results are presented in this paper
