Abstract
It is demonstrated that columns of dense high-temperature plasma with various elemental compositions can be obtained when two-stage liners with an internal capillary discharge stage are compressed by current pulses from high-current generators. We also show that high-power pulses of K-line x-rays can be obtained and a homogeneous column of iron-containing plasma can be produced with near-optimal parameters in regard to creating a collisionally pumped 3p–3s x-ray laser based on neonlike iron.
