Time-resolved electron temperature measurement in a multiwire Z-pinch plasma
A simplified technique to measure the plasma temperature in multiwire Z-pinch experiments is reported. X-ray PIN, diodes fitted withdifferent transmission filters, were employed to detect the X-radiation in different energy bands.

| Sumario: | A simplified technique to measure the plasma temperature in multiwire Z-pinch experiments is reported. X-ray PIN, diodes fitted withdifferent transmission filters, were employed to detect the X-radiation in different energy bands. The comparison of the relative intensitiesin each band gives a time-resolved measurement of the electronic temperature. The method consists in applying a simple model of thecontinuum spectrum that is convoluted with the filter-detector response to obtain predicted amplitude ratios. The computed ratios are thencompared to the experimental ones to obtain the time-resolved temperature. When the method was applied to experiments carried out with1-4 wire bundles, the temperature was found to be in the interval 1 to 7 keV. |
