Abstract
The results of an experimental study of the formation of micropinches (MP) in a plasma focus discharge in the presence of small impurities of heavy gas are reported. MPS of 10-100 mu m in size are observed and the X-ray spectra of multicharged ions of the impurity (Xe) are registered.Keywords
