Abstract
The paper presents the results of X-ray source spatial distribution measurements of a low-inductance vacuum spark discharge based on the analysis of helium-like ions spectral lines structure. The intensities of spectral lines of FeXXV ions and dielectronic satellites with spatial resolution were measured. The polarization of satellite line 1s2p 2 2 D 5/2-1s 22p 2 P 3/2 was found. The obtained dependence of maximum plasma parameters during micropinch events from initial plasma line density in discharge corresponds to the radiative collapse model.
