Experimental results and analysis of plasma dynamics and radiation output of the 100 kV dense plasma focus FAETON-I [PDF]

Scientific Reports
FAETON-I is the highest direct-charged voltage plasma focus (PF), at 100 kV, 1 MA peak current. F-I produces consistent $$2.5 \times 10^{10}$$ D-D neutrons/shot, over 3 MeV X-rays and $$\sim 350$$ keV deuterons, demonstrating unique combined neutron ...

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

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 ...

On the failure of neutron yield scaling in the dense plasma focus

Physics of Plasmas, 2023
The observed scaling of neutron yield in the dense plasma focus (DPF) as the fourth power of the current in the plasma was the principal driver of the growth of DPF research in its early days. Subsequent discovery of failure of this scaling law was also the principal reason for its abandonment by major laboratories.

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.

ALEGRA-HEDP simulations of the dense plasma focus. [PDF]

, 2009
We have carried out 2D simulations of three dense plasma focus (DPF) devices using the ALEGRA-HEDP code and validated the results against experiments. The three devices included two Mather-type machines described by Bernard et. al. and the Tallboy device currently in operation at NSTec in North Las Vegas.
