Qin-1 is a Z-pinch pulse power generator. Due to the diagnostic requirements of its wire array Z-pinch, a two-axis temporal-spatial resolution XUV/SR imaging system has been developed. The system is composed of filters, two gated pinhole cameras, and a synchronized electric control system. Each camera consists of a pinhole array, a four-frame microchannel plate image intensifier and a CMOS camera. The whole system can synchronously diagnose plasma from two directions with a time resolution of 3 ns. The spatial resolution of the system is approximately 51 μm when the diameter of the pinhole is 20 μm and incident radiation is greater than 455 eV. By using the system, the implosion of symmetric loads and asymmetric loads was investigated. The generation, ablation and compression of the coronal plasma and instabilities in the implosion axis at stagnation can be directly observed from two views. The results indicated that the position of the implosion axis is related to the mass distribution of the wire array and provided more details about bright spots on individual wire arrays. In addition, the diagnostic results of a single wire with energy resolution were acquired.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
