Abstract
The study of the wire array implosion on installation Angara‐5‐1 is devoted. Magnetic probes and the x‐ray backlighting technique were used to investigate a current and mass distribution during the implosion. The experimental data confirm the concept of prolonged plasma production: the long time of implosion the hot plasma flows from dense fixed wire cores and is accelerated by the Lorentz force to the array center together with frozen magnetic field.
