The role of the Hall effect in experiments on the magnetic implosion of a D-T plasma in a cylindrical MTF/MAGO chamber fed from a helical explosive magnetic generator is investigated. The plasma dynamics is simulated numerically by a 2D code developed for solving the set of MHD equations with account of the Hall effect. In simulations, the generator, the break switch, and other units were replaced with LR circuits. It is shown that taking into account the Hall effect provides better agreement between numerical simulations and experimental data.
