Study of VUV radiation of hybrid and standard X-pinches on KING electric discharge facility

The radiative characteristics of standard and hybrid X-pinches are studied in VUV range on the small-size KING electric discharge facility (200 kA, 190 ns, 45 kV) for the same initial conditions. Studies were performed for different X-pinch materials. A comparative analysis of the VUV spectra was performed and the output energy of soft x-rays and VUV radiation was measured for standard and hybrid X-pinches.
