  • Abstract
    We present a new method to produce a hollow cylindrical metallic plasma. This shell will be imploded by the REB generator GAEL (500kV, 250kA) to produce a hot dense plasma, resulting in a high-power soft X-Ray pulse. The density is measured by resonant interferometry, a new and interesting diagnostic for such a plasma (neutral density ≃ 1016 cm−3). Our device is complementary to supersonic gas-puff or exploding wires experiments.
