One-dimensional and multichannels multi-imaging x-ray streak camera for imploded core plasma of shell-cone target.
Recently one-dimensional and multichannels multi-imaging x-ray streak camera (1D+McMIXS) has been proposed as an ultrafast diagnostic tool for imploded core plasma of shell-cone target. This diagnostic system can provide much more information of core plasma dynamics, such as the shell trajectory before the maximum compression, two dimensional (2D) x-ray images, and 2D map of electron temperature. The 1D+McMIXS was used in an implosion experiment of a shell target with a cone for fast ignition at Gekko XII laser facility. The interaction between the core plasma and the tip of the cone was observed and revealed some detailed structures. A series of time-resolved 2D x-ray images were reconstructed and a nominal temperature evolution was also mapped.
