Comparative studies of the parameters both pure helium and helium-xenon plasma have been fulfilled in a magneto-plasma compressor (MPC). The current-voltage characteristics of MPC accelerating channel and the maximum plasma velocity of (6–8) × 106 cm/s changed negligibly under local xenon injection to compression zone. Nevertheless, the
xenon addition causes a growth of maximal plasma pressure up to of 2.3 MPa, an increase of plasma radiation from
the compression zone. The plasma density achieved 1018 cm.
