STABILITY OF THE DENSE PLASMA FOCUS.

The Physics of Fluids, 1969
The influence of small dc axial magnetic fields upon the stability of the focused plasma column is shown in the light of soft x rays. The material damage to the center electrode and the intense x-ray emission at the electrode face as a result of electron bombardment is considerably reduced.
