Abstract :
Our work is dedicated to research on dense plasma generation using explosive electron emission with desired plasma composition directly in the diode. The first (negative) high-voltage pulse being applied to the potential electrode of the diode (subsequently called anode) serves for plasma formation. The second (positive) pulse serves for the acceleration. These pulses are produced by nanosecond generator and considered as one shot. During delay between these two pulses the plasma spreads from anode to cathode. So when the accelerating voltage pulse arrives the plasma in the anode-cathode gap already exists
