This paper is a sequel to the 1998 review paper “Scientific status of the Dense Plasma
Focus” with 16 authors belonging to 16 nations, whose initiative led to the establishment of …

This paper considers the modern level of technique, research, and application of “plasma
focus” facilities in the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A description of the …

Plasma technology is often referred to as one of the critical technologies of the twenty-first
century. In the developed countries such as the USA and Japan, intensive scientific effort …

In this paper, experimental measurements of neutron energy distribution and hard x-ray
emission from a 320J deuterium operated plasma focus device are presented. Temporal …

Experiments on a MA-class Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) device have been carried out to
investigate changes in neutron production by adding moderate amounts of krypton to a …

The dynamics of working gas pressure changes in the plasma focus (PF) chambers were
studied by using the chamber with a built-in manometer as part of the ING-102 neutron …

This paper presents the first verification of the fast ion beam (FIB) and fast plasma stream
(FPS) properties computed using the Lee code. Recent estimates of FIB and FPS properties …

Newly obtained results on hot and dense deuterium and deuterium-neon plasma
compression in a z-pinch electrical discharge configuration are presented. The investigated …

The plasma focus device discussed herein is a Z-pinch pulsed-plasma arrangement. In this,
the plasma is heated and compressed into a cylindrical column, producing a typical density …

A 3 kJ Mather type plasma focus system filled with deuterium gas is operated at pressure
lower than 1 mbar. Operating the plasma focus in a low pressure regime gives a consistent …
