Abstract
The x-ray burst timings of X-pinches, TXB, made using eight different wires for different current were measured. The results showed that a higher current makes a shorter TXB for a given X-pinch wire. In other words, TXB scales linearly with the line mass density for a given current. Based on the snow-plow model for Z-pinch plasma, it was derived that for a given X-pinch wire the integral of the current over time from zero to TXB is constant, i.e., ∫0TXBi(t)⋅dt=const.. This theoretically derived relation was confirmed by our experiments.
