Investigation of the applicability of slit metal vessels in fast compression experiments
Description
Investigations have been carried out on the applicability of large diameter (diameter = 40 cm) slit metal vessels in fast theta-pinch discharges. Two limiting factors were identified, namely short-circuiting arcs across the slit gaps and wide current bridges connecting the two sides of the slits electrically via the pre-ionization plasma. Both of these effects could be avoided by a magnetic bias field superimposed on the discharge. The necessary condition for this bias field was verified. (orig.)

Untersuchungen zur Anwendung von geschlitzten Metallgefaessen mit grossem Durchmesser (Durchmesser = 40 cm) fuer schnelle Theta-Pinch-Entladungen wurden durchgefuehrt. Zwei begrenzende Faktoren wurden beobachtet: Kurzschlussentladungen ueber den Spalt des Gefaesses und breite Strombruecken, die die beiden Seiten der Spalte ueber das Praeionisationsplasma elektrisch verbinden. Beide Effekte koennen durch ein Magnetfeld, das auf die Entladung wirkt, vermieden werden. Die Notwendigkeit eines derartigen Magnetfeldes wurde nachgewiesen. (orig.)
