Experimental investigations of spatial distribution anisotropy of pulsed plasma generator radiation

Abstract

Results of experimental investigation of plasma luminous emittance (integrated with respect to time and quartz transmission band spectrum) of a pulsed plasma generator depending on its axis spatial position, are presented. It is shown that the spatial distribution of plasma radiant intensity is of clearly anisotropic character, that is, there exists a cone of the plasma generator axial directions in which the radiation of plasma reaches its peak. A possible explanation of the results obtained is given based on a hypothesis of global anisotropy of space caused by the existence of a cosmological vectorial potential $\bf{A}_g$. It is shown that the vector $\bf{A}_g$ has the following coordinates in the second equatorial coordinate system: right ascension $α= 293^\circ \pm 10^\circ$, declination $δ= 36^\circ \pm 10^\circ$. The experimental results are in accordance with those of the earlier experiments on determining the direction of $\bf{A}_g$.
