Abstract :
Results of investigation of surface plasma. produced by electrical explosion of electrods of current concentrator. are presented. Experiments were performed at a current I = 3-4 MA. dI/dt ~ 1014 A/s. Solid (CH2)n. (CD2)n or foam agar-agar were used as material of cylindrical loads. An investigation of spatial and temporary characteristics of soft X-ray radiation and laser measurements were performed to study both the dense plasma in a neck of Z-pinch and the comparatively rare plasma in periphery of pinch. An analysis of influence of this plasma on neck´s parameters is presented.
