Abstract

The set of diagnostic techniques used at the Angara-5-1 facility that make it possible to study the processes which accompany the ultrafast current driven implosion of liners is described. This set includes electric methods and methods for the detection of various radiations. Current and voltage measurement allow to evaluate a load inductance and R-t diagram of implosion. Micro- B-dot probes make it possible to measure current distribution inside liner. The liner-plasma shapes are visualized by detecting the intrinsic liner radiation in various wavelength ranges and actively probing liners in the visible and X-ray regions. Examples of the results of studying the current driven implosion of cylindrical arrays of tungsten wires at the Angara-5-1 facility are presented.
