Recent measurements of soft X-ray emission from the DPF-1000U facility
Nukleonika, 2015 Soft X-ray imaging is a very useful diagnostic technique in plasma-focus (PF) experiments. This paper reports results of four experimental sessions which were carried out at the DPF-1000U plasma-focus facility in 2013 and 2014.

Model of Thomson scattering from z-pinch plasma: Application in experimental design for Plasma Focus
Results in Physics, 2022 The present work develops a model of Thomson scattering (TS) for z-pinch plasmas. Sustained on the phenomenology observed in dynamical-pinch discharges of interest in fusion studies, the plasma dynamics is modeled by axisymmetric bi-Maxwellian velocity ...

Temporal distribution of linear densities of the plasma column in a plasma focus discharge
Nukleonika, 2015 Experiments were carried out on the PF-1000 plasma focus device, with a deuterium filling and with deuterium puffing from a gas-puff nozzle placed on the axis of the anode face. The current was reaching 2 MA.

On filamentation in the dense plasma focus
Physics of Plasmas, 2022 Striking pictures showing filamentary structures in the 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 sight as summarized in a recent comprehensive review.
