Neutron and soft X-ray emission from wire array Z-pinch imploding onto deuterated fiber

  • 1. Czech Technical Univ., Prague (Czech Republic)

Description

The implosion of a wire array Z-pinch onto a deuterated fiber was studied. The peak power of soft X-rays exceeded 200 GW and the total emitted energy was 2-8 kJ. The radiation was close to the radiation of the blackbody with the temperature of 40 eV. The neutron yield from the D-D reaction reached 2x108 per shot. The mean energy of neutrons determined in the axial direction was shifted from 2.45 MeV towards higher energies

Abstract (Russian)

Изучается имплозия Z-пинча проволочной сборки на дейтерированное волокно. Максимальная мощность мягкого рентгеновского излучения превосходит 200 ГВт, а общая излученная энергия составляет 2-8 кДж, что соответствует излучению черного тела с температурой 40 эВ. Выход нейтронов из D-D-реакции достигает 2х108 на один импульс. Средняя энергия нейтронов, измеренная в аксиальном направлении, составляет от 2.45 МэВ и выше
