Comparative study of the spatial structure of the X-rays and ion emission sources in the micropinch discharge plasma
The image of ion emission sources in a micropinch discharge plasma is obtained by the camera obscura technique. A region that is the source of the most intense ion emission is of approximately 3 mm along the discharge axis and it has a width ? 1 mm. It seems that the image of the emitting region observed in the axial direction is the traces of the influence of a magnetic field of the discharge current on the diagram of ion flow directivity.
