Abstract
Summary form only given. Measurement of plasma parameters and velocity during the implosion and stagnation phase is challenging, but essential for understanding x-ray production in wire array Z pinches. This article outlines K-shell spectroscopic, monochromatic self-emission, and radiographic plasma diagnostic techniques.
