Description
Summary:Summary form only given. Arrays of Si PIN diodes are fielded on radiation producing experiments on the Shiva Star pulsed power generator at AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate. This work is a continuation of earlier work done on Shiva Star. Each diode is filtered to respond to a part of the band of interest and the signals are then deconvolved to generate the radiation spectrum as a function of time. The plasma temperature may be inferred from this method, assuming Bremsstrahlung radiative processes, and impurities may be detected by a departure from the mean temperature.This diagnostic may be extended to other types and numbers of detectors.
