Z-pinch driven plasmas produce the highest yield among K-shell line emission sources1. Recently measured yields on the refurbished Z generator (∼20 MA) include: 270 kJ for Al (E>1 keV); 75 kJ for stainless steel (SS, E>5 keV); and 25 kJ for Cu (E>5 KeV). Gas puff experiments are planned for the summer of 2012 and predictions for the Ar (E>3.1 keV) K-shell yield are > 300 kJ. Clearly for a given generator the K-shell yields decrease as the atomic number of the load material increases. Of interest for future pulsed power generators of higher current is the enhancement in K-shell yields for the above materials, and the potential for significant yields above 10 keV from loads of higher atomic number. In this work we consider a 60 MA generator and examine the K-shell yields for Ar and SS, as well as for Kr (E>13 keV), Mo(E>18 keV), and Ag(E>22 keV). The simulations for the non-LTE radiation magneto-hydrodynamics are performed with 1D radial (DZAPP) and 2D r-z (MACH2-TCRE) codes. These simulations employ an equivalent circuit for the generator including current losses, use detailed configuration accounting including fine structure for the atomic physics with collisional-radiative equilibrium kinetics, and treat the line transport with the probability-of-escape formalism. The 60 MA driver is predicted to couple ∼8 MJ into the load and produce over 2 MJ of Ar, ∼1 MJ of SS, and ∼200 kJ of Kr K-shell. For Mo the conversion efficiency to K-shell remains as high as ∼1%, giving ∼80 kJ. The effects of a larger current loss in the MITL and time dependent ionization kinetics will discussed.
