Skaryna Ave., 70220072 Minsk Belarus Tel.:+375 17 284 10 65 Fax: +375 17 284 00 30E-mail: ast@imaph.bas-net.byHomeStaffResearch ActivitiesExperimental SetupsPublications Of significant interest in terms of high-energyplasma flow obtaining are plasma accelerators (plasma guns) with inherentmagnetic field wherein plasma is generated and accelerated due to transformationof electrical energy supplied by an external source, into kinetic energyof plasma flow. For most interesting applications of plasma accelerators(plasma injection in different magnetic traps, micro-particle acceleration,material surface modification, etc.) high plasma parameters with its longduration are required. Quasi-stationary plasma accelerators of a new generationcorrespond to conditions mentioned . The accelerators operate in the ioncurrent transfer mode and provide ion-drift acceleration of magnetizedplasma. The idea of such accelerating systems was proposed by ProfessorA.I.Morozov from Kurchatov's Institute, Moscow, Russia. Our laboratory is developing and studying differenttypes (gas-discharge and erosive) of quasi-stationary high-current plasmaaccelerators, in which acceleration of plasma is accompanied by its compressiondue to interaction between longitudinal components of swept away currentand its azimuthal magnetic field. As a result, created at the outlet ofthe plasma accelerator discharge device is the compression plasma flowwith plasma parameters much higher than those in the discharge device.
