The plasma produced during the high-power electrical explosion of thin copper wires has been studied numerically and experimentally. The experiments were carried out with the SNOP-1 high-current pulse generator with a pulse length approx.100 ns and a peak current approx.200 kA. Two types of explosions were studied: explosions in water and in vacuum. Comparison of the experimental data with the results of one-dimensional MHD calculations supports the approach taken here to describe the plasma properties in states with temperatures up to 50 eV and a mass density approx.0.01 g/cm/sup 3/.
