Popis: In the work presented here the geometry of the Hall current layer in a plasma of the vacuum arc discharge in the transverse magnetic field are analyzed. The extraction of an intense pure flux of fast ions generated in the cathode spots with the help of the Hall layer is discussed. Experiments on the arc source of carbon fast ions are described. The anode geometry adequate to the mechanism of the arc current passage through the transverse magnetic field is found out experimentally. Up to 70% of fast ions are extracted out of the arc discharge in the arched magnetic field. In experiments, the Hall current layer formation in the vacuum arc discharge across magnetic field is confidently confirmed.
