The use of the recombination continuum for x-ray radiation production in Z pinches has been discussed as an option 1 for generating high yields in the warm photon energy range, ħω > 13 keV. The free-bound continuum emission is an inherently weaker

We present data from experiments using nested wire-array Z -pinches where the wires of one of the arrays (the outer or inner array) are inclined to produce a cone. The use of these nested conical arrays can potentially provide a valuable tool in X-ra
