| Abstract | Summary form only given. The Z facility at Sandia National Laboratories is a 100-ns, 20-MA pulsed power driver for plasma radiation sources. Experiments with tungsten wire-array Z pinches on the Z facility can produce >200 TW and 1.8 MJ of soft X rays in the 100-10,000 eV range. The best performance from tungsten wire arrays on the Z facility was originally obtained with 40-mm diameter arrays. As part of a concentrated multi-year campaign studying both single and nested (concentric) wire arrays, we have experimentally demonstrated comparable results using 20-mm diameter arrays, a feat that was not obviously achievable even a few years ago. The use of compact X-ray sources is critical to designs for double-ended, Z-pinch driven hohlraum inertial confinement fusion (ICF) concept. Concurrent with our compact X-ray source research, we have also actively pursued the development of advanced diagnostics for studying Z pinches, such as monochromatic X-ray backlighting/imaging and grazing incidence cameras. Monochromatic X-ray backlighting has played a critical role in confirming models for wire ablation physics and also in verifying the role of rapid current transfer and ablation of the inner wire array in a nested array implosion. These observations helped us develop methods for controlling the radiation pulse shapes attainable from nested wire-array implosions, allowing us to experimentally demonstrate radiation pulse shapes equivalent to those required for fusion capsule implosions. Recent experiments studying single-array implosions have demonstrated high coupling efficiency between the pulsed power and the X-ray pulses from short-implosion-time arrays that appears to be the result of contributions from non-kinetic sources of energy, a result consistent with array-on-rod tests. These diagnostics and experiments have provided us with a wealth of new data on Z-pinch dynamics that is being used to constrain models for wire-array Z pinches |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
