Magnetic fields are produced in the 10 to 15 megagauss range by- use of high explosives which compress the flux obtained from initial fields of approximately a hundred thousand gauss. The fields described here occupy a cylindrical volume and are essentially axial. A typical field might have these general characteristics: Peak field 14 megagauss; 2 mu sec duration from 10 to 14 megagauss, field volume around peak, 6 mm diameter, 50 mm estimated length. (auth)
