Abstract:The formation of the current-sheet-like structure under the influence of the external magnetic field in pinching plasma flows generated by the magnetoplasma compressor has been studied. A set of magnetic and electric probes were used to measure the self-generated magnetic field, electron temperature, and electric field locally with sufficiently high temporal and spatial resolution. The data obtained from the probe measurements were used to plot the spatial distributions of electric current and drift velocity i… Show more
