PLASMA FOCUS DEVICE STUDY.
Abstract
A program to determine the X-ray and neutron yields from a plasma focus device as a function of capacitor bank energy was carried out. The capacitor bank energy was varied from 20 kJ to 90 kJ, and empirical scaling laws were determined. In addition, X-ray spectra, pulse widths, and production efficiencies were measured. One-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic code (MAGPIE) calculations were used to correlate some pertinent parameters. A two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic code development was started. (Author)
