Radiation Procress from Fast Z-Pinch Discharge Produced from Solid Kripton

为了探索高功率短波长辐射源的可能性，研究了一种高密度Z-Pinch等离子体。通过小尺度Z放电和高功率级实验的对比研究，阐明了等离子体参数的定标规律。通过数值模拟对Z放电的动力学进行了研究，得出结论：在实验条件适当的情况下，Z放电等离子体不仅可以用作短波长光源，还可以用作高功率软X射线激光器。

To investigate the possibility of high power short wavelength radiation source, a high density Z-pinch plasma was investigated. A scaling laws of the plasma parameters were clarified from comparative study of small scale Z-discharge and high power level experiments. The dynamics of Z-discharge was investigated also with numerical simulation.It was concluded that with proper conditioning of the experiments, the Z-discharge plasma could be utilized not only for a short wavelength light source but also a high power soft-X-ray laser.
