What is the photon direction in Z-pinch

[kiwaho]

In high energy Z-pinch, lots of X-ray emit. Which direction is the highest density of photon radiation?

not sure if this helps:

and I think this belongs to the plasma physics topics [atomic phys topic]... at least there it can attract more attention from people whom you want to hear.

thanks for your input.
I speculate the most x-photons radiating along the pinched wire, the side radiation direction (orthogonal to wire) may be caused by scattering, and only take a small fraction.
