The Z-pinch, perhaps the oldest subject in plasma physics, has achieved a remarkable
renaissance in recent years, following a few decades of neglect due to its basically unstable …

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 …

A study of x-ray emission from a low energy (1.8 kJ) plasma focus (PF) device powered by a
9 µF capacitor bank, charged at 20 kV and giving peak discharge current of about 175 kA by …

A magnetic spectrometer positioned on the axis of a 3 kJ plasma focus device has been
used to measure energy spectra of deuterons emitted from the pinch region of the focus …

The X-radiation emission from a low energy plasma focus with argon as a filling gas is
investigated. Specifically, the attention is paid to determine the system efficiency for argon K …

In a 3 kJ Mather-type plasma focus device operated in neon, the electron beam emission is
investigated using both a magnetic electron energy analyser (in the 30–660 keV range) and …

The influence of pre-ionization around the insulator sleeve of plasma focus, by a mesh-type
β-source 28 Ni 63 on neutron emission is investigated. The experiment is conducted on two …

Abstract A low-energy (2.3 kJ) plasma focus energized by a single 32-μF capacitor charged
at 12 kV with filling gases hydrogen, neon, and argon is investigated as an X-ray source …

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 study on X-ray emission from a low energy (3.3 kJ) plasma focus (PF) device operated
with hydrogen is reported. X-ray are detected by using an X-ray detector consisting of three …
