Abstract:
Processes are analyzed in the course of production of a microplasma as a result of collision of two dense cluster beams. In reality, this microplasma is characterized by the lifetime of $\sim 1$ ns, by a size $\sim 0.01$ cm, by the number density of electrons $\sim 10^{20}\,{\rm cm}^{-3}$, by the electron temperature of several tens of eV, and by a charge of its multicharged ions up to $z=10$. Under contemporary conditions, the laser method allows one to create a hot microplasma with more high electron temperature and charge of atomic ions.
