Abstract
Results are presented from experimental studies of promising output units for high-current pulsed generators within the framework of the program on inertial confinement fusion research with the use of fast Z-pinches. The experiments were carried out on the S-300 facility (4 MA, 70 ns, 0.15 Ω). Specifically, sharpening systems similar to plasma flow switches but operating in a nanosecond range were investigated. Switching rates to a load as high as 2.5 MA per 2.5 ns, stable switching of a 750-kA current to a low-size Z-pinch, and the radiative temperature of the load cavity wall of up to 50 eV were achieved.
