ABSTRACT

The dynamics oi Z-pinch carbon plasma has been investigated using one dimensional Lagrangian code. During the pinch phase, the temperature increases due to shock heating and adiabatic heating.. After the pinch the plasma, is cooled down rapidly due to adiabatic expansion which can lead to an adequate condition tor recombination Extreme-Ultra-Violet(XlfV) lasers. The effect ot the radiative trapping of resonance line on hydrodynamics and population kinetics is also investigated. The calculation shows that there can exist a high gain on hydrogen-like (1 VI Balmer-a line (18.2 imm).
