Abstract

Till now, the study of low-temperature dense gas plasma generated by powerful pulsed electrical arcs is active enough. These researches were begun in the middle of XX century and were inspired mainly by the needs in high-enthalpy plasmas for aerospace and other applications. Currently, physics of high-power pulsed electrical discharges in gases under high and ultrahigh pressure is an essential part of high-energy density physics and physics of extreme states of matter. Relevance and importance of the performing research are determined by the needs of modern science and technology in increasing the energy of plasma above the achieved now of 105 to 107 J. Solution of this problem involves the implementation of technical tools and scientific methods to perform the experiments with current ≥10 MA and discharge pulse duration ≥10−4 s.
