Plasma Pinch

The aim of the research is to examine the dependence of plasma pinch properties and radiation emissions on the atomic number of the operating gas within the dense plasma focus device (NX2) when using hydrogen and argon gases. Simulation was performed with Lee’s code on an NX2 dense plasma focus at a constant gas pressure value ( P 0 = 0.5   torr ). The results showed that the minimum radius of the plasma focus in the case of the hydrogen plasma pinch was 0.30 cm and in the case of the argon plasma pinch 0.17 cm, and this affected the value of the radiation emission as it was 7.8 × 10 − 6   J and 11 J for the hydrogen and argon pinch, respectively. The energy of the ion beam released by the breakdown of the plasma pinch was found as E n = 23.8   J in the state of hydrogen and E n = 105   J in the state of argon.

AbstractThe role of static inductance on ion beam emission in plasma focus devices, based on anomalous resistivity, is reported. The effect of gas pressure variation on the process of energy transfer into plasma is investigated and discussed by using Lee's model. The dependence of ion beam production on filling gas pressure along with change in static inductance is studied. The results show that increase of static inductance in a specific range of operating pressure can enhance the efficiency of dense plasma focus device.

Deuterium Gas

A co-axial plasma focus device is operated in deuterium gas at ambient pressures from 0·2 to 0·7 mm Hg and condenser bank voltages from 10 to 22 kV. Magnetic probing reveals an axisymmetric parabolic current sheath which propagates down the co-axial tube (steady propagation region) and collapses off the end of the co-axial gun forming a dense plasma focus. The state of the plasma just before the focusing action is very much dependent on the velocity in the steady propagation region. This velocity is experimentally studied and compared with a snow- plough theory. The collapsing phase of the current sheath is studied using high speed framing photography and current and voltage measurements. The results indicate a focus of length 1·5 cm and radius less than 1·7 mm.
