On the representation of dense plasma focus as a circuit element [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2021 The dense plasma focus is a plasma discharge powered by a capacitor bank. Standard diagnostics include the measurement of the time derivative of the current through and the voltage across its connections with the capacitor bank. Interpretation of this diagnostic data often involves some assumptions regarding the representation of the dense plasma focus

Applications of the dense plasma focus to nuclear fusion and plasma astrophysics
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2003 This paper investigates the dense plasma focus (DPF) for applications to nuclear fusion processes in reactors and in astrophysical plasmas. The scaling derived from experiments suggests a DPF of 100 MJ could reach break-even in a reactor and provides parameter space information for astrophysical problems.
