Analysis of filtered silicon diode data from MAGO/MTF experiments

Summary form only given, as follows. We have acquired filtered silicon diode data from energetic magnetized plasma generation experiments fielded jointly by Los Alamos National Laboratory and the All-Russia Scientific Institute for Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) in Sarov, Russia. The diode responses extend from the visible to the hard X-ray region of the spectrum, and the filters define various spectral ranges. We have attempted to infer time-dependent plasma temperature and density histories from these measurements, with limited success. We see evidence for a plasma initially over 200 eV, decaying quickly to about 200 eV and slowly decaying thereafter, but remaining above 120 eV until about 5 /spl mu/s, at which time the analysis fails.
