Abstract

We report experiments that were carried out at the inductive storage machine GIT-4 with wire arrays. The tungsten wire array parameters were the following: the mass per centimeter was equal to 370 μg/cm, the length was 4 cm, and the initial radius was 0.2 cm. When the wire array current was 1.5 MA, the rise time was 100 ns and the total radiation energy was 50 kJ at the 80–100–kJ energy transferred to the wire array.
