| Notes: |
XUV and x-ray emission spectra of the elements carbon, oxygen, neon, and argon, in the spectral range 3–300 A(ring), generated in a gas-puff z pinch, are presented. The spectra are analyzed to give time-integrated measurements of the density, electron temperature, and dimensions of the imploded plasma and the "hot spots'' that often occur in the gas-puff pinch. In particular, dielectronic satellite lines are used to measure the electron density and temperature, and Stark broadening to measure electron density. The effect of optical depth is included.
