A multi-channel x-ray temporal diagnostic for measurement of time-resolved electron temperature in cryogenic deuterium-tritium implosions at OMEGA.Electron-temperature (Te) measurements in implosions provide valuable diagnostic information, as Te is unaffected by residual flows and other non-thermal effects unlike ion temperature inferred from a fusion product spectrum.  In OMEGA cryogenic implosions, measurement of Te(t) can be used to investigate effects related to time-resolved hot-spot energy balance.
