Abstract: Based on the results of the experiments and numerical estimates, the authors hypothesize that the direction of propagation of the flow of high-energy electrons in a micropinch discharge is determined by the freezing of magnetic field lines into the plasma flow and the magnetization of electrons accelerated to high energies.

Keywords: micropinch discharge, plasma, acceleration processes.
