Abstract :
Summary form only given. Numerical modeling of the process of electron beam generation in Z-pinch discharges at the current range of 100 kA-10 MA have been done. The proposed model represents the electron generation under turbulent plasma conditions. Strong inhomogeneity of plasma density distribution and zigzag-like current motion have accounted for the adequate generation process. The Z-pinch neck was determined to be the place of electron beam generation. The emerging beam of runaway electrons moves towards the anode.
