FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to high energy density physics and thermonuclear fusion and can be used to generate powerful streams of soft X-rays (SXR) required to solve a range of practical tasks, e.g. for analysing soft X-ray generation processes when collapsing plasma liners. In the device for generating high-temperature plasma based on a multi-wire liner, the current conducting component additionally has an annular groove. A U-shaped spring whose curved part is inserted into the groove is attached using material which fills the annular groove, e.g. epoxy adhesive. Both ends of the spring form cantilever arms, one which is rigid and the other can bend. On the free end there is a support element which is fastened to the second connection element of the wire. The annular groove can be made in a ring which is attached to the current conducting component. In the method of assembling the device for generating high-temperature plasma based on a multi-wire liner, the cavity annular groove of the ring, which is a component part of one of the current conducting components, is filled with material. Using tools, cantilever springs are inserted radially such that planes passing through their cantilevers intersect with the axis of symmetry of the multi-wire liner. After solidification of the material in the annular groove, the ring is fastened to the current conducting component such that angular positions of cantilever springs and grooves for putting wires on the current conducting component coincide in the plane perpendicular the common axis of symmetry of the device. When fastening connection elements of the wires to support elements of the springs, their cantilevers are bent and then released after fastening, that way ensuring tension in each wire. The tool for fastening springs to the current conducting component has a base, a collector and a load. On the base there is a mandrel, radial grooves and guide elements. In the collector there are radial grooves and guide elements. Guide elements of the base and collector are mated. Then number of radial grooves in the base and collector is equal and their angular positions coincide. There is another guide element in the load, which is mated with the guide element of the base. The load is pressed to the base. The tool can have fastening elements which fastened the collector to the base.

EFFECT: design of a device for generating high-temperature plasma based on a multi-wire liner.
