Abstract

The axial magnetic field was applied to the Ar gas-puff Z-pinch plasma for the control of soft X-ray and EUV emission. The reduction of soft X-ray and increase of EUV emission were again confirmed. EUV spectroscopic measurement was made on the Z-pinch plasma, and Ar IX and Ar X lines were observed. By applying axial magnetic field of 950 G, those lines increased more than twice. As the intensity ratio of Ar X/Ar IX slightly decreased with the axial field, the electron temperature would become low by the field.
