Abstract
Results are presented from experiments on the irradiation of thin aluminum foils by an intense soft X-ray (SXR) source on the basis of the Z-pinch formed during the implosion of a tungsten wire array at the Angara-5-1 facility. The state of the foil target is examined by taking two-dimensional X-ray frames. The expansion velocity of the plasma formed under the action of pulsed SXR emission on the front (irradiated) and back sides of the foil and the glow intensity of aluminum plasma on the back side are found from the spatial distribution of the radiation intensity of the plasma of the irradiated foil. The time at which the foil plasma becomes transparent to Z-pinch radiation is determined from the increase in the intensity of transmitted SXR emission.
