The code couples the electrical circuit with plasma focus (PF) dynamics, thermodynamics
and radiation. It is energy-, charge-and mass-consistent and accounts for the effects of …

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 …

In spite of intensive studies of the plasma focus, scaling laws, with the exception of those for
neutron yield, are not well known. This paper points out that Mather-type plasma focus …

This paper includes a brief overview of the contributions and results of several groups
working in plasma focus (PF) devices around the world in the last few years. In section 2 a …

Basic operational characteristics of the plasma focus are considered from design
perspectives to develop powerful radiation sources. Using these ideas we have developed …

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 neutron emission from a small and fast plasma focus operating in deuterium is
presented. The system operates at low energy in the hundred of joules range (880 nF …

The Lee model couples the electrical circuit with plasma focus dynamics, thermodynamics,
and radiation. It is used to design and simulate experiments. A beam-target mechanism is …

Thin films of titanium carbide (TiC) were deposited on 304-stainless steel substrates using a
dense plasma focus device. The conventional hollow copper anode of the 3.3 kJ Mather …

The dense plasma focus (DPF), a coaxial plasma gun, utilizes pulsed high current electrical
discharge to heat and compress the plasma to very high density and temperature with …
