In order to examine the effects of wire number and load mass on long pulse implosions, a series of shots using arrays of Al:Mg alloy wires was taken on the Saturn generator at Sandia National Laboratories, with Saturn configured in long pulse mode (C. A. Coverdale et al.,) Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 44, 52 (1999).. All of these shots had initial array diameters of 40 mm. The wire number was varied from 32 to 282 while maintaining a load mass of 0.62 mg/cm, and the load mass was varied from 0.33 to 1.58 mg/cm while keeping the number of wires between 120 and 180. Implosion times were 125-188 ns, and peak load currents varied from 6.8 to 8.5 MA. In order to ascertain the temperature and density profiles of the assembled pinches, both time-integrated and time-resolved x-ray spectroscopic data have been analyzed. Profiles of the pinches are inferred by replicating the Al and Mg line intensities using a detailed configuration collisional-radiative-equilibrium (CRE) plasma model.
