title = "Computerized 3-GHz multichannel soft X-ray diode spectrometer for high density plasma diagnosis",
abstract = "Investigations of high density plasma conditions, particularly those used in laser fusion and X-ray laser schemes often demand a quantitative characterization of the X-ray spectral emission in the 100-2000 eV range covering the peak of the thermal radiation energy distribution. We describe a 3 GHz bandwidth, 4-channel soft X-ray diode spectrometer coupled to a computerized digital oscillographic system. The characteristics of this system, and examples of its use in high density plasma experiments are described in detail.",

In many respects they are complimentary. The first approach, implemented at several major high density plasma facilities, involves the use of a number of calibrated X-ray diodes \[1\] separately filtered for * This work was supported at the Laboratory for Laser En-ergetics by the US Department of Energy Office of Inertial Fusion under agreement No. DE-FC08-85DP40200 and the Sponsors of the Laser Fusion Feasibility Project, and at Los Alamos National Laboratory by the US Department of Energy under contract W7405-EN6-36.",
