The complicated temporal-spatial distribution of x-ray radiation was measured by the one-dimensional （1D） x-ray imaging system. Other diagnostic equipments including the x-ray power meter （XRPM） and the time-integrated pinhole camera were used to record time-resolved x-ray power pulse and pinhole x-ray images. Analysis shows that the fast leading edge of the local x-ray radiation pulse is of primary importance in sharpening x-ray power pulse rather than the temporal synchrony and the spatial uniformity of implosion. Experimental results indicated that the better axial imploding synchrony, the faster the increase of x-ray power for an array consisting of 32 tungsten wires of 5 μm diameter than for the others, and the higher the x-ray radiation power with maximal convergence ratio （r0/r1） of 10.5. A ‘zipper-like＇ effect of x-ray radiation extending from the anode to the cathode was also observed.展开更多

The long ablation mode has a lagged trajectory compared with the short ablation mode. For shot 10035 in a short ablation mode, the initial time of K-shell radiation is consistent with the interaction time for ablation plasma arriving at the centre of wire array, while for shot 10038 in long ablation mode, the initial time of K-shell radiation is about 10 ns earlier. In the two modes, the partial ablation plasma could traverse the wire array plane and then collide in the centre to form a dense plasma column with a diameter of 2.2 mm for shot 10035 and 1.5 mm for shot 10038.展开更多
