10 MJ 10 TW Stationary Facility for Plasma-Flow Discharge Experiments with Currents up to 25 MA

Abstract

This work includes justification and the ideology chosen for 10 MJ facility for plasma flow discharge experiments with currents up to 25 MA. With the current rise time about 1 microsec the facility has a power up to 10(to the 13th power) W. The application of a plasma current switch provides 100 ns current front in the load and a voltage about 2-3 MV. The facility may be used in experiments on the implosion of shells, to accelerate plasma toroids to 5-6 MJ and to generate electron beams by the voltage up to 2 MV and current to 10 MA.
