Formation of dense, electromagnetically accelerated plasma for laboratory astrophysics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We proposed tapered pinch discharge as a measure to conduct laboratory astrophysics experiments. Basic behaviors of the plasma have been characterized using a prototype device. Results show that the plasma flux and velocity depend on initial gas density,

Inference of X-Ray Emission From a Plasma Focus Discharge: Comparison Between Characteristic Parameters and Neural Network Analyses

IEEE Access, 2020
Pulsed plasma discharges, such as the plasma focus, are a source of pulsed X rays, therefore it is desirable to understand the relationship between this fast transient phenomena and the electrical variables of the discharge.

Observation of plasma dynamics in a theta pinch by a novel method

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2023
A novel experimental method is proposed for observing plasma dynamics subjected to magnetic fields based on a newly developed cylindrical theta-pinch device.

High yield fusion in a Staged Z-pinch [PDF]

, 2008
We simulate fusion in a Z-pinch; where the load is a xenon-plasma liner imploding onto a deuterium-tritium plasma target and the driver is a 2 MJ, 17 MA, 95 ns risetime pulser.

Plasma Spectroscopy in Pinch Plasmas

, 2011
Magnetic fields play a very important role in the dynamics of plasmas. Through interactions with the ions and electrons within plasmas, their behaviour and evolution can be drastically influenced. It is the Zeeman effect that is responsible for the splitting of radiative lines observed.

Theoretical and numerical research of wire array Z-pinch and dynamic hohlraum at IAPCM

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2016
Dense Z-pinch plasmas are powerful and energy-efficient laboratory sources of X-rays, and show the possibility to drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF).

Effect of kinetic resonances on the stability of Resistive Wall Mode in Reversed Field Pinch [PDF]

, 2011
The kinetic effects, due to the mode resonance with thermal particle drift motions in the reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas, are numerically investigated for the stability of the resistive wall mode, using a non-perturbative MHD-kinetic hybrid ...

X-Pinch Plasma Generation Testing for Neutron Source Development and Nuclear Fusion

Energies, 2018
Nuclear fusion is a sought-out technology in which two light elements are fused together to create a heavier element and releases energy. Two primary nuclear fusion technologies are being researched today: magnetic and inertial confinement.

Scenario of a magnetic dynamo and magnetic reconnection in a plasma focus discharge

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2020
The paper discusses a possible energy transformation that leads to the acceleration of fast ions and electrons. In plasma-focus discharges that occur during deuterium filling, which have a maximum current of about 1 MA, the accelerated deuterons produce ...
