Popis: On modest ionization, the change in the photon energies of characteristic K- and L-lines from high-Z (Z ∼ 75 ) ions can be used as an ionization diagnostic (Slabkowska et al., 2014). Indeed, the line shape of the L β 2 line in a spatially resolved but time-averaged L-shell spectrum from a tungsten Plasma Filled Rod Pinch plasma suggested ionization states up to +28W. Here the L β 2 line is measured with nanosecond time resolution to determine the plasma’s ionization as it varies in time. Together with the plasma temperature from the black-body radiation and the pressure from the expansion history, such a measurement could eventually determine the plasma’s equation of state.
