Low energy X-ray and electron physics and applications to diagnostics development for laser-produced plasma research
Abstract
A collaborative extension of an on-going research program in low-energy X-ray and electron physics into particular areas of immediate need for the diagnostics of high temperature plasmas as involved in fusion research is described. The following specific efforts are described: (1) the design, construction and calibration of a spectographic system for absolute measurement of laser-produced spectra in the 100 to 10,000 eV region; (2) extended development of improved Bragg crystal and multilayer analyzers for absolute X-ray spectrometry in the 100 to 10,000 eV region; (3) extended research and development on X-ray photocathode systems for time-resolved detection in absolute spectrometry, as for the X-ray streak camera, in the 100 to 10,000 eV region; and (4) the characterization and absolute calibration of photographic films for time-integrated detection in the absolute spectrometry in the 100 to 10,000 eV region.
