Study of the Role of Vortex Annihilation in the Mechanism of Neutron and X-Ray Production in the Plasma Focus.

Abstract

This paper shows that an understanding of the nature of the x-ray and neutron producing processes in the plasma focus requires a study of the 'fine structure' of the plasma focus and that this fine structure study requires diagnostic techniques with spacial resolution down to 50 micrometers and time resolution to about 10 ns. Fortunately it has been possible to develop measuring equipment with these high resolutions.
