Abstract

As a basis for this review the results of the investigations of a number of processes occurring at different stages of the fast z-pinch evolution, beginning with the electric explosion of a wire and ending with hot spot formation, have been assumed. At the same time the experimental results whose significant part had been obtained when investigating the explosion of thin aluminum and composite (W-Al-W; W-SiO2-W) wires at the high-current SIGNAL accelerator (∼220-kA current, ∼50-ns rise time) have been used.
