-*"Summarizing the data, including radiography results, wires known to have slower expansion rates and high boiling temperatures (NiCr, Ti, Nb, Mo, Pd, Ta, W, and Pt) appeared to yield the smallest x-ray source sizes, i.e., gave the best spatial resolution in radiographs and provided subnanosecond time resolution. All of these materials yield intense continuum radiation with energy up to 6 keV, and the highest resolution images are achieved using only the continuum radiation from the X pinch."

-*"... we describe a theoretical investigation of the three phases of X-pinch evolution. We use as an example, experiments on the XP-pulser at Cornell University where a current rising to 460 kA in 40 ns was used to drive two X pinches, each comprised of two 17 um molybdenum wires [6]. Using the GORGON [9] 3D resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code we show....."
-*"...both models predict that at peak compression the plasma has collapsed to a micron in diameter and has reached solid density, the temperature is 2 keV the output power is 5 GW and the lifetime is 2 ps. These ﬁve parameters are then consistent with the faster time scale diagnostic results presented in Refs. [7,8]."

-==x-pinch scaling (dependence of X-Ray burst size, duration, energy, power upon the wire material, diameter, load current, waveform, pulser, etc.)==
-*In spite of the fact that X-pinch has been studied for a long time on various setups, the scaling parameters for the initial conditions (current, rate of current rise, wire material, number of wires, linear mass of the load, and its configuration) for which the X-pinch is optimal are still unknown and are determined experimentally in each specific case. This is primarily due to the fact that X-pinch is a system that basically operates for a wide range of initial conditions. Second, processes in the X-pinch are quite complicated, and a theoretical model for an adequate description of all stages of these processes has not been constructed as yet. Third, systematic studies can only be performed on the same specific setup, and setups differ significantly.[http://download.springer.com/static/pdf/13/art%253A10.1134%252FS1063776110090049.pdf?auth66=1363067683_116cad7f883e6a27b9ccd21936b59124&ext=.pdf]

-'''dI/dt > 1 kA/ns requirement'''
-*"To obtain a bright source of radiation, i.e., an ∼1 µm or submicrometer-scalesize radiation source in the soft X-ray range that has a subnanosecond pulse duration, the generator must have a rate of the rise of current I that satisﬁes '''dI/dt > 1 kA/ns'''. Furthermore, the bigger this parameter is, the brighter the source can be." [http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1710122]
-*"The main requirements imposed on the generator are '''the current amplitude 150-300 kA and the rate of the current rise 1-2 kA/ns.''' At the moment, these parameters of the current pulse can be provided only by enough large fixed-site generators weighing from 300 kg to several tons. These shortcomings limit to a great extent the feasibility of this diagnostic technique in studies of extreme states. Therefore, the design of a portable pulse generator which provides the required parameters makes it possible to proceed to a new level of diagnostics of fast processes."

-*[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1710122]
-*"... matching the X-pinch wire mass to the speciﬁc current-pulse parameters is important in determining whether there will be a single brightpoint source rather than many bright spots and in minimizing the hard X-rays due to the energetic electrons."
-*"...If the current is near enough to the peak value that the derivative is decreasing in magnitude, the COBRA X-pinches can produce one intense X-ray burst in the > 1.7-keV energy region with more than 1-J energy yield and with a source size near 1 µm. ... . In the experiments, it was shown that the most important factor determining the ﬁrst X-ray burst timing is the linear mass density.'''

-*"...However, there are substantial differences between materials. For example, the pulse duration for Al with ﬁltering for energy >1.5 and >5 keV are about 1 and 0.5 ns, respectively. By contrast, for Mo with ﬁltering for energy >2.5 and >5 keV, the pulse durations are about 200 ps and <80 ps, respectively."
-*"...We found that the burst duration depends upon the wire material and the x-ray energy range. Using an x-ray streak camera, we determined that Mo-wire X pinches produce x-ray pulses that are about 200 ps long in 2.5–5 keV radiation and <80 ps with energy >5 keV."

-'''X Pinch Plasma Development as a Function of Wire Material and Current Pulse Parameters'''
-*[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=01024291]
-*The timing of the first X-ray burst from an pinch depends upon the current derivative, the linear mass of the wires, and the wire material.
-*In addition, the current waveform was shown to influence the pinch timing, but the wire size, for a given material and a given current pulse, has a relatively small effect.
-*'''For more reproducible pinch performance, wires with intermediate and resistivity are best, giving predictable, low-jitter X-ray burst timing.'''
-*If the current pulse being used is somewhat nonreproducible, or has a longer rise time, a more massive wire may provide reliable, lower jitter performance
-*Higher wires tend to produce a background of more energetic X-rays in a relatively long, low-level pulse that is believed to be due to generation of an energetic electron beam across the pinch [20]. This can reduce the contrast available in radiographs obtained with higher materials such as W.
-*It is now well known that low materials often produce multiple X-ray bursts and can have relatively large total source size, with the number decreasing as increases.
-'''Radius scaling'''
-*[http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v98/i2/e025003 J. P. Chittenden, A. Ciardi, C. A. Jennings, S. V. Lebedev, D. A Hammer, S. A. Pikuz, and T. A. Shelkovenko Structural Evolution and Formation of High-Pressure Plasmas in X Pinches]
-*For example, the minimum radius scaling as r = I^(-14/9)*Z^(-10/9) suggests that in order to reach a radius of less than 1um requires a current of 100 kA for molybdenum, 516 kA for aluminum, but only 45 kA for tungsten, which is roughly consistent with experiments at Cornell University [6–8], at Pontiﬁcia Universidad Cato´lica de Chile [16], and at Imperial College [17].

-==Linear Transformer Driver (LTD) overview==
-*"The LTD driver is an induction generator similar to the induction accelerator (LIA) [1,2], the inductive voltage adder (IVA) [3–6], and the linear pulsed transformer (LPT)" [http://prst-ab.aps.org/abstract/PRSTAB/v12/i5/e050402]
-*"Each LTD stage (or sometimes called LTD cavities) consists of three different elements: a capacitor, a gas spark switch and a ferromagnetic core. The necessity of ferromagnetic core is to inductively connect stage to TL. So the one stage can be used as building block to design the bigger facilities. Buy designing the different stages and connecting them in different way a great variety id devices can be constructed." [http://prst-ab.aps.org/abstract/PRSTAB/v12/i5/e050402]
