Resumen
The results from the first plasma physics experiments on the Llampüdkeñ Generator (1MA, 250 ns) are presented. X Pinch experiments have been undertaken at current levels of 400 kA with a rise time of ∼250 ns. X pinches were produced mainly from aluminium wires of different diameters and with varying numbers of wires. Results from X-ray diagnostics characterising the emitted radiation are presented. The diagnostics include filtered PIN diodes and a pinhole and slit-wire camera. Radiation of energy greater then 2.5 keV was emitted from hot spots in timescales of a few nanoseconds. Using the results from the slit-wire camera, the diameter of the hot spots is shown to be less than 5 µm.
