Low-temperature (<; 10 eV) plasmas with densities varying over a very wide range from 10
13 m-3 at the lower end to as high as 10 23 m-3 have firmly established themselves as one …

This paper presents the review of the applications of pulsed high energy density pinch
plasmas (with energy densities in the range of 1–10× 1010 J/m3, accompanied by self …

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 dense plasma focus (DPF) has long been considered a compact source for pulsed
neutrons and has traditionally been optimized for the total neutron yield. In this paper, we …

A conventional neutron detection technique was adapted to measure low neutron yields
from D–D fusion pulses. This method uses a 3 He proportional counter surrounded by a …

Advances in neutron science have gone hand in hand with the development of particle
accelerators from the beginning of both fields. Early accelerator systems were developed …

An ion source based on the principles of electrostatic field desorption is being developed to
improve the performance of existing compact neutron generators. The ion source is an array …

In the present paper, the new idea to increase the neutron yield of plasma focus devices is
investigated and the results are presented. Based on many studies, more than 90% of …

Experiments were performed to maximize the neutron yield from a 2 kJ dense plasma focus
(DPF) and characterize the amount of copper sputtered from the surface of an anode by …

The neutron emission from a low energy (2.2 kJ) plasma focus (PF) device operated with two
different shapes (cylindrical and converging) of anodes has been investigated by employing …
