Calculations on the Interaction of Intense Radiation with Matter in a Magnetic Field

In the presented article, a qualitative analysis of the plasmadynamic modes of operation of a magnetoplasma compressor (MPC) (specifically, an end-type MPC discharge) is performed. It is shown that the most acceptable mode for optical pumping of gas lasers in the ultraviolet (UV) range of the spectrum is the mode of inhibition of the plasma of the MPC discharge on a gas barrier (ohmic mode). Spatial distributions of plasma parameters are obtained.
