S>Translation of Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz., Pis'ma Red.; 18: No. 1, 11- 15(5 Jul 1973). High-speed interferometry methods are used to show that powerful electron beams, subjected to hose instability and focusing in the plasma, are produced during the concluding stage in a plasma focus. The anomalous scattering of the diagnostics laser radiation and the powerful x radiation of the plasma from the beam-focusing region point to the development of two-stream instability and strong heating of the plasma in this region. This explains the principal neutron pulse produced in the setup. (auth)
