Plasma dynamics in the self-magnetic-pinch diode

The self-magnetic-pinch (SMP) diode 1,2 is being developed as a source for flash x-ray radiography. The high electric field stresses applied to this diode and material heating from the intense electron beam generate electrode plasmas. While these plasmas are instrumental in beam formation and focusi...

Description
Summary:The self-magnetic-pinch (SMP) diode 1,2 is being developed as a source for flash x-ray radiography. The high electric field stresses applied to this diode and material heating from the intense electron beam generate electrode plasmas. While these plasmas are instrumental in beam formation and focusing, rapid plasma expansion from the electrodes can degrade radiographic performance.
