Abstract

To achieve a thermonuclear ignition threshold in the scheme of indirect irradiation of Z‑pinch by X‑radiation, it is necessary to implode the liner by the current with the amplitude ≈ 65 МА for the time ≈ 100 ns. The currents with such parameters can be achieved with the use of super-power disk explosive magnetic generators and a two-stage current pulse sharpening system based on foil electrically exploded current opening switches in a form of a “serpentine”. The implementation of the explosive current source with a rise time of ≈ 100 ns is advisable to be carried out in stages by increasing the magnitude of current. The results of the first-stage experiments, in which the current with the amplitude of 5 MA was produced on the basis of the helical explosive magnetic generator in the load of ≈ 10 nH for the time of ≈ 110 ns, are presented.
