This paper considers the modern level of technique, research, and application of “plasma
focus” facilities in the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A description of the …

The ZaP Flow Z-Pinch project is experimentally studying the effect of sheared flows on Z-
pinch stability. It has been shown theoretically that when d V z∕ dr exceeds 0.1 k VA the …

An experimental study on hard X-ray pulses emitted by a small plasma focus is performed,
regarding its application to biological radiographs in fast dynamic situations. It is found that …

The dense plasma focus (DPF) has long been considered a compact source for pulsed
neutrons and has traditionally been optimized for the total neutron yield. In this paper, we …

This paper investigates the dense plasma focus (DPF) for applications to nuclear fusion
processes in reactors and in astrophysical plasmas. The scaling derived from experiments …

As a first step toward the development of a compact and portable, quasi-continuous pulsed
neutron source, we have demonstrated a'fast miniature plasma focus (PF) device'as a …

A plasma focus device is a laboratory fusion device that is used to produce pulsed neutrons
for a few tens of ns duration. A compact plasma focus tube (volume≈ 130 cm 3) has been …

In order to gain insight into the possible neutron production mechanism in sub-kilojoule
miniature plasma foci, the anisotropy in neutron and hard x-ray emissions from a newly …

Neutron emissions in a low energy 3.3 kJ (15 kV) plasma focus are studied. The system is
operated in deuterium and deuterium-argon admixtures. Enhancement of the neutron yield …

The average angular distribution of neutron emissions has been measured in the Fuego
Nuevo II (FN-II) dense plasma focus device (5 kJ) by means of CR-39 plastic nuclear track …
