Optical Thomson scattering measurements of plasma parameters in the ablation stage of wire array Z pinches.

A Thomson scattering diagnostic has been used to measure the parameters of cylindrical wire array Z pinch plasmas during the ablation phase. The scattering operates in the collective regime (α>1) allowing spatially localized measurements of the ion or electron plasma temperatures and of the p...
