While books on the medical applications of x-ray imaging exist, there is not one currently
available that focuses on industrial applications. Full of color images that show clear …

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 …

The effect of three different anode shapes, flat, tapered and hemispherical, on the x-ray
emission characteristics of a neon filled UNU–ICTP plasma focus device is investigated. The …

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 …

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 …

Recently, it has been demonstrated that it is possible to produce a pinch focus discharge
with a device operating at only 0.1 J, ie, nanofocus (NF). Evidence of pinch has been …

A pulsed hard X-ray source with shot to shot reproducible spectrum, based on a 4.7 kJ small-
chamber Mather-type plasma focus device, is presented. The hard X-ray output spectrum …

The length of insulator sleeve is varied to investigate its effect on the pinch formation in the
plasma focus facility. In this paper, the effect of insulator length on the time to pinch at …

In this paper behavior of hard X-ray (HXR) anisotropy and its intensity along the anode bar
from APF plasma focus facility (16 kV, 36 μf, and 115 nH) with different anode tip materials …

This paper offers a comprehensive investigation of image quality parameters for a small
plasma focus as a pulsed hard x-ray source for radiography applications. A set of images …
