Abstract

On "S-300" generator (700 kV, 4 MA, 70 ns) at the Kurchatov Institute, the experimental studies with multi-material wire array units are carried on aimed at creating the powerful X-ray source. The development of new diagnostic methods would definitely contribute to attain new data, which could help in explanation of X-ray emission mechanism of imploding multi-wire arrays that has not well understood yet. The experimental study of soft X-ray emission of different wire sets, different in both mass and composition, has been carried on in the same geometry. One of the purposes of these experiments was investigation of the wire array chemical composition influence on the implosion dynamics and stability.
