On filamentation in the dense plasma focus
Physics of Plasmas, 2022 Striking pictures showing filamentary structures in plasma focus have intrigued researchers from the early days of plasma focus research. A definitive understanding of their occurrence, origin, structure and role in plasma focus physics is still not in ...

Redirection of Current in a Dense Plasma Focus
The Mission Support & Test Services (MSTS) reports that significant amounts of energy needed for generating high energy neutrons is lost within a Dense Plasma Focus between its pinch-end of the anode stalk and at its base near the insulating sleeve.

Superposed epoch analysis of high-speed-stream effects at geosynchronous orbit: Hot plasma, cold plasma, and the solar wind [PDF]
, 2008 Superposed epoch analyses of magnetospheric plasma analyzer (MPA) data from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) satellites are performed to reveal the density, temperature and flow velocity behavior of the hot ion plasma (0.1–45 keV), the hot electron ...

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.

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 ...

Observation of two distinct cold, dense ion populations at geosynchronous orbit: Local time asymmetry, solar wind dependence and origin [PDF]
, 2006 International audienceWe report on the observation of two distinct cold (TiNi>2 cm?3) ion populations at geosynchronous orbit. A statistical study was performed on measurements from the geosynchronous Los Alamos plasma instruments, for the period 1990 ...

A study of high-frequency properties of plasma and the influence of electromagnetic radiation from IR to XUV [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2017 On the basis of calculated values for the conductivity in an external electric field, we determined the high-frequency characteristics of plasmas under extreme conditions (e. g. dense plasma focus device).

Axion string signatures: a cosmological plasma collider
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study early and late time signatures of both QCD axion strings and hyperlight axion strings (axiverse strings). We focus on charge deposition onto axion strings from electromagnetic fields and subsequent novel neutralizing mechanisms due to bound ...

Evolution of the small ball-like structures in the plasma focus discharge
Nukleonika, 2016 The experiments were carried out in the PF-1000 plasma-focus device at the maximum current reaching about 2 MA, at the deuterium or neon filling and with deuterium injected from a gas-puff nozzle placed on the axis of the anode face. Ball-like structures
