Abstract

The scheme of a multi-objective installation ‘Baikal’, a multi-megajoule source of X-ray emission with a temperature of 250–300 eV and a power of 500–1000 TW, is described in this article. The Project of the ‘Baikal’ installation is based on an inductive energy store, which in the process of step-by-step energy transmission with increasing power generates an electric pulse with parameters required for compression of liners. Electric parameters of the ‘Baikal’ installation are: current −50 MA, voltage 8–10 MV, pulse duration −150 ns, pulse energy 30 MJ. An installation ‘MOL’ is intended for testing the scheme of one of ‘Baikal’ modules. It consists of an inductive store IN-1 with accumulated energy of 12,5 MJ, capacitor banks, a magnetic amplifier, a magnetic compressor with a capacitor bank for generation of initial magnetic flow, a plasma opening switch (POS) and a load simulator.
