Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A quantitative analysis of the conditions of stabilization of the conduction of a plasma at the leading edge of an electric‐discharge pulse in xenon is performed. The ranges of gas pressures and plasma temperatures in the region of stabilization are estimated. It is established that the homogeneity of the discharge plasma is the deciding factor for stabilization of its conduction. It is noted that under certain conditions self‐structurization of the plasma is attained. The role of impurities in the formation of the mechanism of conduction and their influence on the plasma radiation are evaluated. Calculated data are compared with data of experiments.
