Methods of parameters diagnostics of multifunctional electrophysical explosive complex "EMIR"

Summary form only given, as follows. For future research in the area of thermonuclear fusion and high energy density physics VNIIEF is performing the development of the multifunctional electrophysical explosive complex "EMIR". It is supposed that with the use of this complex the conditions of thermonuclear ignition in high-temperature plasma (/spl sim/0.3 keV) with a lifetime of about several nanoseconds, formed during the electrodynamical compression of cylindrical plasma shells in Z-pinch geometry, will be achieved. One of the main problems to be resolved for realization large-scale experiments on the complex "EMIR" is the development of methods for diagnostics of the processes, taking place in its separate devices. Along with the development of the methods intended to measure the electrotechnical parameters of the magnetic energy source modules, the development of methods for radiation diagnostics of plasma load and cavity with the thermonuclear target is of primary importance. Measurement methods of the main power module parameters, including plasma current breaking, systems of the soft X-ray generation and the thermonuclear target are considered. Sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution of the methods are pointed out. The proposed measurement methods are adapted to conditions of explosive experiments with increased level of electromagnetic noise and may be tested with different laboratory installations. Realization of experiments with these methods promote the obtaining of important information about the dynamics of processes, which take place in the multifunctional electrophysical explosive complex "EMIR".
