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 th e spectral- and spectral-spatial time behavior of the ISKRA-5 facility laser-irradiated target X-ray radiation. For this purpose, we develop ed several 0.1 - 10 keV range X-ray slit streak cameras with 3 x 10(-1 1)-s time resolution. Our X-ray imaging layout made it possible to sim ultaneously project several target images (in different spectral inter vals) to the photocathode and streak them synchroniously. These techni ques made it possible to: study the microsphere target and plasma coro na implosion dynamics; investigate the wall-adjacent plasma electron t emperature behavior; determine the compressed core lifetime; and monit or the state of the external (non-irradiated) target surface.
