•In TRINITI with cooperation with Kurchatov Institute, Efremov Institute and VNIITF are investigated Z-pinches as source of X-ray emission for ICF. Both physical (Angar-5-1) and technical ( test bed “MOL” for “Baikal” generator) problems are under investigations.
At “Angara-5-1” the difference of wire array implosion from “snow plough ” model is investigated. It was demonstrated:
•Up to 40 ns the current flows in separate channels near wires. There are no continuous current envelope up to this time.
•Dense wire plasma cores exist at initial wire array position more than a half of implosion time. Velocity of wire cores expansion does not depend on a flowing past current.
•There are two emissive zone at the moment of maximum X-ray emission. Probably periphery plasma re-emits radiation of the central zone.
•Comparison between radius from optical or x-ray image allow to detect addition resistance without quantitative x-ray measurement
CONCLUSIONS
36
At “MOL” the scheme of pulse generation for generator “BAIKAL” is developed.
The following experimental results were obtained when creating the “MOL
module :
•the first two stages of power amplification are in operation. The 30-fold
multiplied current up to 150 mks at a voltage of over 20 kV was produced;
•acceleration characteristics of the MC plates are well predicted using 2-d
calculation models developed;
•a method of initial magnetic flux generation in the area of liner compression
using “capture “ of a flux part from the accelerating contour and 20-fold magnetic
induction amplification in the area of converging accelerated plates has been
experienced;
•the output switch before load provides full switching the current to the load
•the output switch before load provides mutual synchronization of two POS
