Abstract
Numerical simulations of a high-power low inductance capillary discharge show that states with recombination-nonequilibrium ion composition can be obtained in the stage of plasma compression by shock wave at a sufficiently high initial gas pressure (p 0 > 10 Torr) in the capillary. The appearance of such states is caused by several interrelated synergistic factors, including compression in a radial converging shock wave, compression-induced increase in the recombination rate, and increased specific power of the radiative cooling of plasma.
