Straight discharge tubes with both porcelain and metal walls were used in experiments with pulse discharges in gases. The discharge was produced in hydrogen, deuterium, and some other gases in a wide range of pressures. Data on the distribution of electric and magnetic fields were obtained. The data so obtained give an e stimate of kinetic temperatures. Measurement of pressure pulses made possible an estimntion of the pinch density in the contraction stage. New results were obtained on the spatial distribution and energy spectrum of neutrons in chambers with metal walls. The maximum energy of the x rays from the gas discharge was measured by a cloud chamber method. The energy of fast deuterons arising in the pulse discharge was measured. (auth)
