Abstract
Characteristics of plasma temperature variations during two-current-loop collisions are described. It is revealed that plasma temperature has an oscillatory feature with damping amplitude and growing quasi-period in the case of anI-type collision. In the case of aY-type collision, if the initial current becomes strong enough, there also occur pulsations of the temperature. However, the temperature profile of anX-type collision is characterized by a single pulse only.
