This paper is a sequel to the 1998 review paper “Scientific status of the Dense Plasma
Focus” with 16 authors belonging to 16 nations, whose initiative led to the establishment of …

This article differs from thosc usually published in the Journal of the Moscow Physics Society
in three ways. The frst is its volume. The justification for publishing such a largc article is that …

Z-pinch experiments with a hybrid configuration of a deuterium gas puff have been carried
out on the HAWK (NRL, Washington, DC) and GIT-12 (IHCE, Tomsk) pulsed power …

Recent advances in both experimental and theoretical studies on neutron generation in
various Z-pinch facilities are reviewed. The main methods for enhancing neutron emission …

An investigation of ion beam emission from a low energy plasma focus (PF) device
operating with methane is reported. Graphite collectors, operating in the bias ion collector …

The energy distribution and flux of fast nitrogen particles generated in a Mather-type plasma
focus device operating at 0.4 Torr of N/sub 2/pressure is reported. A Faraday cup operating …

X-ray and ion beam emission from a low-energy Mather-type plasma focus energized by a
single, 12 kV (2.3 kJ) capacitor is investigated employing three different anode shapes and …

Particle dynamics and collimation in the Thomson spectrometer system are discussed. A
compact spectrometer which consists of a unique pinhole arrangment, a pair of permanent …

The energy spectrum of the deuteron beam along the electrode axis (0 degrees) in a plasma
focus discharge has been determined with a time of flight (TOF) method and with a …

The electron beam produced by a compact plasma focus device has been investigated. The
Mather geometry plasma focus electrodes were modified to permit extraction of accelerated …
