Results are presented from experimental studies of plasma dynamics in a diode gap under the action of a high-current relativistic electron beam on epoxy resin at energy densities in the range of 170–860 J/cm2. The plasma expansion was studied by means of an optical streak camera. Three-dimensional numerical simulations in the one-temperature hydrodynamic approximation were also performed. The experimental data are compared with the results of numerical simulations.
