Implosion and radiation characteristics of conical wire array in different regimes of implosion are investigated at the 1 MA Qiangguang-1 facility by X-ray self-emission diagnostics. Experimental results show that the shape of precursor plasma is also conical. The initial implosion takes place near the cathode by a stronger Lorenz force, forming a triangle-like structure that produces harder X ray. The current crossing the bubble in the front of the wire array near the anode persists in persist ablating, thereby leading to a zippered stagnation. The initial implosion of a bubble near the cathode is followed by the implosion zippering upwards as the zipper implosion speed is 2.59 107 cm/s. The results shows that the conical array has a broader X-ray power pulse than cylinderical wire array due to the zippered stagnation and zippered implosion of the array. The study of implosion characteristics of specialized axis symmetric wire array Z-pinch-like conical wire array can provide a valuable test bed for understanding the regime of implosion as well as theoretical model and magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) codes, both of which primarily develop for the modeling of cylindrical wire array Z pinches.
