Abstract :
Summary form only given. Current and energy of an electron beam as well as the neutron yield in dependence of inductance, radius of camera, gas pressure, storage energy and voltage are analyzed. Numerical analysis was made in the frame of the simple model of z-pinch plasma formation. The energy radiation losses and thermonuclear heat release were not considered. The simple model provides, one with parameters of z-pinch neck (temperature, density, radius) depending on time and may be successfully used for determination of integral parameters of plasma such as soft and hard X-ray emissions, neutron and electron beam yields.
