主 题:electron temperature continuum curved crystal spectrometer z-pinch
摘 要:Two curved crystal spectrometers are set up on the "QiangGuang-1" generator to measure the z-pinch plasma spectra emitted from planar aluminum wire array loads. Kodak Biomax-MS film and an IRD AXUVHS5# array are employed to record time-integrated and time-resolved free-bound radiation, respectively. The photon energy recorded by each detector is ascertained by using the L-shell lines of molybdenum plasma. Based on the exponential relation between the continuum power and photon energies, the aluminum plasma electron temperatures are measured. For the time-integrated diagnosis, several "bright spots" indicate electron temperatures between (450 eV- 520 eV) ± 35%. And for the time-resolved ones, the result shows that the electron temperature reaches about 800 eV±30% at peak power. The system satisfies the demand of z-pinch plasma electron temperature diagnosis on a - 1 MA facility.
