SPACE TIME, AND ENERGY DISTRIBUTION OF NEUTRONS AND X RAYS FROM A FOCUSED PLASMA DISCHARGE.
Abstract
The energy spectrum and spatial distribution of neutrons emitted by a plasma focus device was measured with nuclear emulsions and scintillation detectors, and the results are reported. X-ray intensity measurements were made for x-ray energies of 7 < E sub p < 30 keV and showed an 1/(E sub p) squared dependence which does not agree with plasma Bremsstrahlung, but appears to result from anode bombardment of axially-accelerated electrons with energies >200 keV. The line radiation corresponded to that of fairly cold ions. (Author)
