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 …

Low-temperature (<; 10 eV) plasmas with densities varying over a very wide range from 10
13 m-3 at the lower end to as high as 10 23 m-3 have firmly established themselves as one …

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 …

This paper presents the review of the applications of pulsed high energy density pinch
plasmas (with energy densities in the range of 1–10× 1010 J/m3, accompanied by self …

Dosimetric measurements of the hard X-ray emission by a small-chamber 4.7 kJ Mather-type
plasma focus device capable of producing neat radiographs of metallic objects, were carried …

Dynamical discharge characteristics and their relation with the total neutron yield emitted
from a 400 J plasma focus operating in deuterium gas are presented. The dynamical nature …

Currently, a new generation of small plasma foci devices is being developed and
researched, motivated by its potential use as portable sources of x-ray and neutron pulsed …

Fusion yields from dense, Z-pinch plasmas are known to scale with the drive current, which
is favorable for many potential applications. Decades of experimental studies, however …

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 …

Plasma focus devices represent a class of hot and dense plasma sources that serve a dual
role in fundamental plasma research and practical applications. These devices allow the …
