The results of the study of compact gas-puff and vacuum spark plasma sources of SXR with Glass-Capillary Converters (GCC)
Abstract
The results are presented dealing with the working out and study of the SXR compact plasma source. The experimental set up included a compact new 'gas-puff' source with parameters being better than the traditional ones and a new type of SXR source - low-inductance vacuum spark (LIVS) with glass-capillary converters (GCC) of SXR. The compact plasma 'gas-puff' source had the high value of the z approx. (1-2) 10(exp -2) (conversion coefficient of initial energy supply into SXR); a small effective size of emission region and greater resource. The characteristics of LIVS with GCC were studied. GCC consisting of about several hundreds of glass capillaries allowed us to focus SXR, to change the cross section of SXR beams to plasma sources, and to change SXR spectrum. The possibility was shown of using of GCC in plasma diagnostics of powerful plasma devices: for X-ray microscopy and to study the influence of SXR on the solid state surface.
