Abstract

An experimental x-ray spectroscopic investigation was made of the stabilisation of a Z pinch with a combined load in the GAEL (225 kA, 50 ns) accelerator. Kinetic calculations of the intensities of the L lines in the spectrum of copper were used for the first time to determine the parameters of a plasma (N_e ≈ (1-2)·10²⁰ cm^-3, T_e ≈ 300 kcV) formed by injection of a cylindrical aluminium-plasma jet imploding onto an axial copper wire. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were made of the stabilisation of the Z pinch with a combined load. Spectroscopic methods were used to demonstrate the stabilising influence of the plasma jet. The results indicated that it should be possible to construct a homogeneous high-temperature plasma column.
