A set of experiments was recently completed at the SATURN plasma radiation source (PRS) facility at Sandia National Laboratories. The purpose of the experiments was to compare the results of K-shell yield measurements made on SATURN from aluminum wire array z-pinch implosions to a similar set of measurements made at the Double EAGLE facility at Physics International, Inc.. These experiments were designed to study the behavior of the kilovolt x-ray yield from aluminum z-pinches when a tradeoff is made between the amount of mass imploded and the maximum velocity that is achieved in the implosion. A comparison of the experimental results, however, suggests that a tradeoff between the mass imploded and the implosion initial conditions may be involved in determining the K-shell emission capabilities of these aluminum array implosions; namely, as the mass of the wires is increased, the coupling between the explosion of each single wire and the implosion of the array itself is increased. A simple wire explosion model is employed and applied to each of the SATURN and Double EAGLE experiments to make this case.
