The time-dependent radial distribution of the electron temperature in a $0.6\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$, $220\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{kA}$ gas-puff $z$-pinch plasma is studied using spatially-resolved observations of line emission from singly to fivefold ionized oxygen ions during the plasma implosion, up to $50\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ns}$ before maximum compression. The temperature obtained, together with the previously determined radial distributions of the electron density, plasma radial velocity, and magnetic field, allows for studying the history of the magnetic-field energy coupling to the plasma by comparing the energy deposition and dissipation rates in the plasma. It is found that at this phase of the implosion, $\ensuremath{\sim}65%$ of the energy deposited in the plasma is imparted to the plasma radial flow, with the rest of the energy being converted into internal energy and radiation. |
