A Study of the Fine Structure of a Plasma Focus Using the Perforated Camera Obscura Method,
Abstract
The present work consists of developing an x-ray camera obscura method to study the final cumulation stage of a shell during noncylindrical compression of the Z-pinch. Selection of orifices from 4 to 44 micrometers and photography from two mutually perpendicular directions permitted the authors to determine the plasma-focus (PF) diameter more accurately, to detect the complex fine structure of the high-temperature zone connected with a value of the neutron yield and the intensity of the hard x-ray radiation, and to compare the experimental values of the PF dimensions with those determined. From the obtained experimental results the density of the charged particles in the given PF is estimated. (Author)
