Abstract :
In recent years, 2-D radiation-magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) calculations have done quite well in matching some important observed parameters of a z-pinch implosion. As experience is gained, more complex experiments to compare with calculations are fielded. Here, the authors discuss both time dependent and time integrated X-ray imaging on Pegasus. Images, using similar filters, are calculated and compared with the data. They also apply some image enhancement to the data.
