Abstract

Results are presented from measurements of the azimuthal magnetic field generated during the implosion of double (nested) tungsten wire arrays in the Angara-5-1 facility at currents of ∼3 MA. It is found that the inner array affects the current distribution in the interarray space and that there is an optimal mass (an optimal number of wires) of the inner array at which the full width at half-maximum of the soft X-ray pulse (in the photon energy range of >100 eV) is minimal. On the average, double wire arrays provide a better reproductibility, higher power, and shorter duration of the soft X-ray pulse in comparison to single arrays.
