The dense plasma focus (DPF) is a Z-pinch that has been studied for 50 years. Within ten
years of its discovery by Fillipov and Fillipova in Russia and Mather in the USA, this dense …

The response of CR-39 nuclear track detector (TasTrak®) to protons in the energy range of
0.92–9.28 MeV has been studied. Previous studies of the CR-39 response to protons have …

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 …

We present here a very small transportable dense plasma focus with 125 J of energy able to
be used mainly as an intense fast neutron source. The aim of this work was to design …

Dense plasma foci are the most efficient devices in the production of fast neutrons
proceeding from deuterium nuclear fusion reactions. This work deals with experiments in a …

The FN-II Dense Plasma Focus is a small (< 5kJ) Mather type device, where the
dependence of neutron yield and its anisotropy, in terms of deuterium filling pressure, and …

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 …

Using a dense plasma focus device with a 50 kJ capacitor charge, we have observed fusion
reactions from deuterium ions with record energies of> 150 keV, which are confined for …

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 …
