Abstract
Earlier, in experiments on DD synthesis in a complex plasma of a nanosecond vacuum discharge (NVD) with a virtual cathode, in parallel, a significant experimental database was accumulated on the output of hard X rays from the inter-electrode ensembles, and a certain correlation was established between the specificity of the X-ray yield and the features of the inter-electrode ensembles of nanoparticles (their density and configuration). In particular, the ability of sufficiently dense inter-electrode ensembles to “trap” X ray radiation (quanta with energies ∼10 keV or less) was recognized. In this work, we consider and analyze the features of the X-ray yield in experiments on DD synthesis in NVD. We present and discuss the accumulated basic experimental data related to the specifics of the release of hard X rays from the NVD.
