Formation of a hot plasma filament during the focusing of imploding cylindrical corona
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 March 2001
Abstract
We present the results of the theoretical studies of the plasma heating in the flows which converge toward the axis of cylindrical cavity. We show that as a result of the shock wave reflection from the axis, the narrow hot filament is formed. This phenomenon is important for the interpretation of the dynamic processes in the electric discharges used for X-ray generation. We notice that the plasma parameters which can be of interest for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) can be reached in such the processes.
