Abstract
Lifetime determination is considered for a narrow channel in a liquid collapsing in response to gravitational and capillary forces. Working formulas are derived to relate the lifetime to the properties of the liquid and the channel parameters. The calculations are compared with experiments on the effects of a focused high-power electron beam acting on a liquid and solid.
