Techniques to design and fabricate self-adapted planar wire-arrays used in high-temperature and high-density Z-pinch plasmas

The distance between the electrodes of accelerator will shrink when the target chamber is pumped to vacuum. This may lead to the failure of the loaded wire-arrays since they can not keep the required state. A solution to this problem is the novel method to design and fabricate the wire-arrays which have self-adapting adjustment to meet the changes of the electrodes distances. During the fabrication of the arrays, the springs are pre-compressed short of about 3mm, the wires are fixed and distributed in between two fixtures which are to be loaded to the electrodes. Tests and applications were employed and the results show that the fabricated wire-arrays can be used in chambers with electrodes arranged in any directions. Further more, the novel techniques facilitate the fabrication, storage,
