The physics of a plasma focus

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, 2004
This invited lecture concerns Plasma-Focus (PF) devices belonging to the family of the dynamic Z-pinches which produce dense, hot and magnetized plasmas. The plasma is formed by an inter-electrode discharge of a capacitor bank, and the dynamics of the current sheet has two different phases: 1—A long-time phase (lasting several microseconds) of a ...

Types of fresh plasma with focus on therapeutic plasma exchange

Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2019
Among blood components for transfusion, plasma for direct therapeutic use is one which has the most diverse presentations as it can either be a labile (fresh) component or a drug when industrially manufactured after pooling of thousands of individual plasma collections.

Low voltage operation of plasma focus

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2010
Plasma foci of compact sizes and operating with low energies (from tens of joules to few hundred joules) have found application in recent years and have attracted plasma-physics scientists and engineers for research in this direction. We are presenting a low energy and miniature plasma focus which operates from a capacitor bank of 8.4 μF capacity ...

Focus on Basic Plasma Science

Science, 1996
In the article “Fusion plan gathers steam” describing the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Environment Subcommittee hearing on restructuring the fusion energy program ([22 Mar., p. 1660][1]), Andrew Lawler quotes me as “warn[ing] that the lack of small-scale university fusion experiments is keeping young people from entering the field.” While ...

Plasma Focus Breeder

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 1982
It is possible to breed fissile fuels with the help of a high current plasma focus device instead of using linear accelerators. A mechanism for accelerating a proton beam in a plasma focus device to a high energy would be the change of inductance in the plasma column caused by a rapid growth of plasma instability.

Effect of plasma sheath structure in plasma focus

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 1993
The development of plasma sheath in the run-down phase and pinch phase in a plasma focus is studied with laser interferometry. The time-resolved interferograms show that the structures of plasma sheaths in the run-down phase are different at low and high pressures of filling gas. This leads to a distinct plasma pattern above the anode.

Structure of plasma sheath in a plasma focus device

1990 Plasma Science IEEE Conference Record - Abstracts, 1990
Summary form only given. Experiments were conducted on a device consisting of a condenser bank with 81 mF at 20-30 kV. The propagation of the plasma sheath in the rundown phase and pinch phase was studied by laser interferometry. The di/dt signal and X-ray yield were measured at the same time.

Dense-plasma spheromak in plasma focus experiments

International Conference on Plasma Science (papers in summary form only received), 1995
Summary form only given, as follows. Experimental evidence is presented for the formation, formerly predicted, of a closed, spheromak-like magnetic configuration (SLMC) by the plasma-focus-self-transformed magnetic field. The SLMC formation is characterized by (1) self-consistent generation of a poloidal magnetic field (the dynamo effect); (2) strong ...

Interferometry of plasma focus discharge

2009 IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science - Abstracts, 2009
Summary form only given. The plasma focus facilities are simple and effective sources of fast ions. At the usage of deuterium gas the fusion neurons from fusion D-D reactions are produced. The plasma produced in plasma focus facilities is convenient for interferometry diagnostics with impulse laser beam in visible wave range.
