摘要
A series of experiments has been carried out on the S-300 pulsed power machine (3 MA, 0.15 Ohm, 100 ns), devoted to the study of a section of magnetically insulated vacuum transporting line (MITL), by the current flow density up to 500 MA/cm(2), by the linear current flow density being up to 6 MA/cm. These parameters fairly correspond to those of the Sandia Laboratories' conceptual project of IFE reactor based on the fast Z-pinch [1]. The goals of experiments were as follows: 1) study of the near-electrode plasma and its effect on the energy transfer; 2) testing the 2-temperature MHD code NPINCH modeling the behavior of near-electrode plasmas. As a result, the conditions of plasma formation and reconnection of the MITL gap have been determined.
