JO - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science SP - 629 EP - 636 VL - 43 IS - 2 PB - Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc KW - Anode KW - fusion neutrons KW - modeling KW - plasma focus (PF) KW - plasma pinch AB - A comprehensive set of electric data measured in a small plasma focus (PF) device of 50 J correlated with the corresponding neutron emissions is taken as the base for developing a semiempirical model of the current sheet dynamics and the neutron yield. The model is able to explain the dependence of the neutron yield with the pressure and anode length with good accuracy, and suggests a physical interpretation of the drive parameter commonly used in PF design.
