Abstract
Measurements of radially resolved L-shell Mo spectra from wire array pinches on Sandia's 20 MA, 100 NS Z generator [Phys. Plasmas 5, 2105 (1998)] are presented and analyzed using a collisional-radiative model. The spectra indicate large radial gradients in density over the ∼8-mm-diameter plasma column, but only the emission from the ∼2mm central region of the pinch appears to be influenced by opacity. Population inversions and significant gain factors for 100–200Å transitions in Ne-like Mo are predicted to exist at the diagnosed plasma conditions.
