Abstract
The article presents the results of studying the generation modes of pulsed discharges and neutrons in a system with inertial electrostatic plasma confinement under conditions of pulsed-periodic power supply with preliminary gas ionization. The obtained data show that amplitude-time characteristics of the pulsed discharge depend on the gas pressure, bias voltage polarity, and strength of the pre-discharge current. The operating mode of the generator with multipolar power supply of the preliminary and pulsed discharges provides conditions for increasing the current and reducing the ignition delay time of the pulsed discharge. For stable generation of a pulsed discharge with maximum amplitude values, the current density of the preliminary discharge should exceed the threshold.
