Abstract
The conditions under which the magnetic adiabatic compression of a plasma in a direct magnetic trap is accompanied by the accumulation of high energy in the hot anisotropic electron component are found. The basic instabilities resulting in the emission of the accumulated energy in the form of a pulse of stimulated electromagnetic radiation are analyzed. The possibility of creating terahertz radiation sources with the use of the magnetic compression of the plasma is discussed.
