Abstract

The necessity and the possibility of diagnosing powerful fluxes of fast particles generated in Z-pinches, including in installations of the Plasma Focus type, are substantiated. These flows are the main tool used for testing materials that are promising for use in thermonuclear energy and aerospace engineering. It is proposed to carry out investigations using helium plasma. The prospects of applying for this purpose investigations of the polarization parameters of radiation observed in a helium line with a wavelength of 5015 Å and relating to the spectral transition 2S¹–3P¹ are studied. This line is located in the visible region of the spectrum, which greatly facilitates performing this type of diagnostics of high-power pinch high-flux plasma flows.

使用极化光谱法对捏合等离子体中用于测试聚变能材料的快速粒子的强大通量进行诊断

摘要

证实了诊断在Z型管夹中产生的快速粒子的强大通量的必要性和可能性，包括在Plasma Focus型装置中的诊断。这些流是用于测试有望用于热核能和航空航天工程的材料的主要工具。建议使用氦等离子体进行研究。为此目的，研究了在波长为5015Å的氦线中观察到的辐射的偏振参数并与光谱跃迁2 S ¹ –3 P ¹相关的应用前景。这条线位于光谱的可见区域，这极大地促进了这种对大功率收缩高通量等离子体流的诊断。
