Measurement of Spectra of X-Ray Emitted from Neon Plasma

Summary form only given. In this paper the experimental results of measuring spectra of X-ray emitted from neon plasma will be presented and discussed. Two methods have been employed for this purpose: (1) flat crystal spectrography; (2) filtered 5-channel PIN diode detector. The crystal spectrograph has an adjustment system of five degrees of freedom. It has not only the advantage of easy adjustment, high efficiency and high spectral resolution, but also the capability of providing spatially resolved spectrum in one dimension over 1~50 Aring wavelength range. A TIAP crystal was used, and the spatially resolved X-ray spectra from a neon plasma focus were obtained
