摘要: The emission of hard x rays with energies much greater than the applied anode-cathode voltage is a common feature Z-pinch plasmas. Here time-resolved measurements such from fiber Z pinches at mega-ampere current level are reported. x-ray spectrum measured by an array detectors used to calculate energy electron beam producing emission. Pulses between 20 and 100 ns duration were observed electron-beam around 2 MeV obtained. It thought that these high-energy beams generated plasma becoming resistive time
