摘要: The formation of local regions the high-temperature, high-pressure plasma, 'hot-spots', in a vacuum spark is studied using X-ray spectroscopy and holography. Measurements dimensions hot-spots, absolute flux radiation spectral composition emission, have been analysed to give order-of-magnitude values for electron density, temperature plasma lifetime. It appears that pressure >or approximately=107 atm hot spots requires intense heating rates more commonly associated with focused laser beams, i.e. approximately=1015 W cm-3. probable beams are responsible heating. Possible mechanisms concentrating energy deposition localised discussed.
