Abstract

In this paper we present experimental data on the generation of ions with MeV-energy in a Z-pinch discharge in a heavy-element medium. The calculations show that the escape of runaway electrons from the constriction region can lead to the production of a positive volume charge and then to the Coulomb explosion of plasma, which generates high-energy particles.
