Abstract

Results of research of z-discharges in a ceramic tube with aspect ratio of 5.5:50 mm and running inductance of 1.4 nH/cm are informed. In modelling experiments power supply of discharges was carried out from DFL through single transmitting cable with length of 10m at pulse duration of ~ 100 ns. For pre-ionization of gas (Ar, p=0.001-1000 Torr) a running wave of sliding discharge was used. It is shown, that similar discharges can be used as a source of radiation from hard X-ray range up to visible red-orange light depending on gas pressure.
