The Use of Streak Photography, X-Ray Radiography, and Radiometric and Spectrometric Measurements to Study Plasma Bunches Generated under Gyroresonant Interactions

Results of experimental studies of relativistic plasma bunches obtained under gyromagnetic autoresonance (GA) and confined in a magnetic mirror trap are provided. The main attention is paid to observations of the radiation generated by plasma bunches at different stages of their lives in different spectral ranges using streak photography and X-ray imaging techniques. The original method of accounting for the instrument function in X-ray spectroscopic analysis and radiometric measurements is applied within the quantum energy range of 0.2–2 MeV to take account of considerable distortion caused by the Compton scattering in the detector. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Spatial configuration of a plasma bunch formed under gyromagnetic resonance in a magnetic mirror trap

The spatial configuration of a relativistic plasma bunch generated under the gyromagnetic autoresonance and confined in a magnetic mirror trap has been studied experimentally and numerically. The characteristics of bremsstrahlung generated by the plasma bunch from the gas and chamber walls were investigated using X-ray spectroscopy and radiometry, which made it possible to determine the localization of the bunch and analyze the dynamics of its confinement. © 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
