Abstract
It is known that high energy low impedance pulsed electron generators produce exploding wires or gas-puff Z-pinch plasmas which radiate intense X-ray pulses. These experiments were pioneered in the 70th by N.R.L. This paper presents Z-pinch experiments conducted with the generator Aglae. Its inductance was lowered to about 20 nH in order to ensure a fast current rise time (3.1013A x s-1 for 40 ns). Either aluminium wires array or gas-puff have been used to extend the X-ray lines range from 1 to 4 keV. Figure 1 shows geometries with the sight lines which allow plasma diagnosis by means of its radiation.
