X-ray Imaging

11.2K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

  • To validate simulation results with experimental measurements of hohlraum radiation temperature.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 1.7-MA Zebra generator.
  • Employed magnetically decoupled compact double-planar-wire Z pinches as parallel-driven x-ray sources.
  • Incorporated a central reemission target with tailored shine shields.

Main Results:

  • Achieved synchronized X-ray bursts from parallel Z pinches.
  • Observed good temporal correlation between Z-pinch bursts and central target emission.
  • Demonstrated good agreement between simulated and measured hohlraum radiation temperatures.

Conclusions:
