Abstract
In the paper, experimental results concerning the dynamics of the counter interaction of high-energy plasma flows in a magnetic field with an induction of up to 2 T are presented and discussed. Plasma flows with velocities (2–4) × 107 cm/s, ion density (2–4) × 1015 cm–3, and energy content of 70–100 kJ were formed by two electrodynamic coaxial accelerators with pulsed gas injection. Nitrogen and neon, as well as their mixtures with deuterium, were used as working gases. A description of the 2MK-200 facility, where the experiments were carried out, and diagnostic equipment are presented. Experimental results obtained in various operating modes of the facility are reported and discussed.
