Investigation of dense plasma under a strong electric field
A hydrogen plasma of density ~ 1016 cm-3 and electron temperature ~ 200 eV has been investigated under electric fields of 100 to 500 V/cm. A pinch of pinch ratio ~ 3 was found to be hydrodynamically stable for ~ 2~s during which the experiment was performed. A sharp burst of runaway electrons of …

Modification and Numerical Modelling of Dense Plasma Focus Device
A dense plasma focus device (DPF) is a pulsed power device that generates high energy particles, neutrons and X-rays through rapid compression of the plasma. The presented research investigates the modification of the DPF and use of numerical modelling to predict the neutron yield. The DPF is a 1 …
