X-Ray Simulator Theory Support

摘要

This report contains the theory, analyses and computations performed betweenOctober 20, 1987 and October 30, 1991 on plasma filled diodes, opening switches, and z-pinches. This includes the first quantitative estimate of plasma blowoff from surfaces in plasma opening switches, the first nine-dependent particle-in-cell simulation of a (one-dimensional) plasma opening switch (or plasma-filled diode), the first two-dimensional dynamical model of a plasma diode, and seminal reviews of z-pinch and vacuum spark research.
