Simultaneous Ultra-Fast Imaging and Neutron Emission from a Compact Dense Plasma Focus Fusion Device

Instruments, 2018
Recently, there has been intense interest in small dense plasma focus (DPF) devices for use as pulsed neutron and X-ray sources. Although DPFs have been studied for decades and scaling laws for neutron yield versus system discharge current and energy ...

Study Cherenkov radiation by production of positrons and its annihilation in dense plasma focus

Results in Physics, 2019
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the production of positrons through natNe2D4He18F, nuclear reactions and its possible Cherenkov radiation (CR) before annihilating in the hot and dense plasma medium (pinch) of a Mather type dense plasma ...

Preparations for pB11 tests in the FF-2B dense plasma focus

Frontiers in Physics
The dense plasma focus (DPF) device has great potential as a fusion energy generator using hydrogen-boron (pB11) fuel1. Experiments using deuterium have already demonstrated mean ion energies >200 keV, in the range needed for burning pB112.

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.

High energy density pulsed argon plasma synthesized nanostructured tungsten for damage mitigation under fusion relevant energetic he ion irradiation

Applied Surface Science Advances, 2021
Tungsten (W) is considered as one of the promising candidates for plasma facing components in fusion reactors since it has high threshold energy, high melting point, low threshold shock resistance, and resistance against formation of co-deposits with ...

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.
