Radiation measurement accuracy of Z-dynamic hohlraums

As calculational capabilities mature the data accuracy requirements become more stringent. Typical Z-pinch power measurements use multiple sets of filtered X-Ray Diodes¹ (XRD) to provide temporally and spectrally resolved information on the pinch performance within a +/− 12% error bar. Integrated power measurements are provided by Ni-foil bolometers2 with +/− 10% accuracy
