Methods for Investigating the Spatial Distribution of Ion Emission from Micropinch-Discharge Plasma

摘要

A technique for investigating the spatial structure of X-ray and ion-emission sources from micro-pinch-discharge plasma (MDP) is described and the investigation results are presented. A spectrometric system has been developed that allows measurements of the spectral characteristics of the ion emission for ions of different degrees of ionization from different MDP regions in a device of the low-inductance vacuum-spark type.
