Abstract

A multi-channel, fast, hard x-ray diode spectrometer is being developed at the Nevada Terawatt facility. This spectrometer helps facilitate the study of the time evolution of hard x-ray emissions from hot, dense plasma. Each channel in the array can be adjusted individually with shielded view areas, allowing small areas of an x-ray source to be isolated and studied by region. This spatial resolution capability will permit a better understanding of the mechanisms present in hot, dense plasma. Results will be presented of experimental tests, and their interpretation, pertaining to the hard x-ray emissions generated from an x-pinch source in a pulse-power type device.
