Vv. Averkiev et al., MULTICHANNEL X-RAY SCINTILLATION SPECTROMETER TO MONITOR MICROPINCH-DISCHARGE PLASMAS, Instruments and experimental techniques, 35(5), 1992, pp. 876-879
This article describes a facility to examine the X-ray spectra of micr
opinch-discharge plasmas and includes two multichannel X-ray scintilla
tion spectrometers. The facility can take measurements for X-rays with
energies from 2 to 400 keV and has a dynamic range of 10(11). The X-r
ay spectra of the plasma in a z-pinch discharge are measured and analy
zed as functions of the discharge current for different electrode mate
rials.
