Abstract

Abstract

The pinch devices based on pulsed power technique can produce extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, density and strong radiation in spatial scale of cm and time scale of 100 ns. Numerous high energy density physics experiments are carried out on the 10 MA level pulsed power facility constructed at Institute of Fluid Physics, CAEP, which utilize a wide range of load configurations. Z-pinch driven dynamic hohlraums produce high temperature radiation field required for conducting inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. Characteristics of implosion dynamics of metallic foils and solid liners are investigated and presented. Implosions using medium and low Z materials produce considerable K-shell line emissions, which are used to perform X-ray thermo-mechanical effect experiments. Magnetically driven isentropic compression and shock loading provide new experimental capabilities for research on dynamic materials properties. Ring diodes and reflex triodes are adopted to produce large X-ray or gamma-ray dose (rate) from bremsstrahlung. Magnetically driven radial metallic foils are used to simulate the formation of stellar jets and its radiation relevant to astrophysics. Additionally, experimental results of formation of preheated magnetized plasma target on a field reverse configuration (FRC) magnetized target fusion device are presented.
