Abstract
Experimental facts attesting to a two-phase (liquid-metal-vapor) state of t he matter in the core produced in a high-power discharge through thin wires are presented. The modern technique of multiframe x-ray shadow photography has made it possible to observe vapor bubbles in the core and their intera ction with the shock wave penetrating from the corona.
