Abstract

Two methods of using the X pinch as a source of X-ray radiation for the radiography of dense plasmas and other objects are presented. These methods do not use pinholes, instead taking advantage of the small source size (<1 mm, and in some cases <1 pm) and short X-ray emission duration (< 2 ns , and < 20 ps in some cases) of the X pinch radiation. Detailed measurements of the emission characteristics of X pinches made using different wire materials and in different energy ranges using a set of X-ray diagnostics with high temporal and spatial resolution are presented. Several applications of the X pinch are discussed.
