This paper investigates the emission characteristics of a high-performance low-energy (3-kJ)
repetitive dense plasma focus device, NX2, operated at up to 1-Hz repetition rate to develop …

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 …

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 …

An investigation on the soft x rays emitted in a 2.2 kJ Mather-type dense plasma focus
device using a multichannel diode spectrometer and a simple pinhole camera is reported …

Optimization of neutron yields from dense plasma focus devices is a complex multi-faceted
challenge that necessitates the prudent selection of mechanical constraints such as the …

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 …

A comparative study on the ion emission characteristics such as flux and energy, and their
variation in angular positions and operating gas pressures has been carried out in a …

Energy and flux of ion beams in a Mather type (5 kJ) plasma focus device was investigated.
The experiments were performed with argon as the chamber gas at the optimum pressure of …

The effect of anode length and operating gas pressure on the x-ray emission from a nitrogen-
filling modified plasma focus device has been investigated. The time-resolved investigation …
