Abstract
A new method for creating high-current plasma channels is developed. The me thod uses a narrow column formed by the leading particles or a nonsteady ga s jet outflowing into a vacuum. An electric discharge device with a system for the formation of a narrow gas column is experimentally studied. The par ameters of emission from the plasma channel are measured.
