Design of a repetitively pulsed megajoule dense-plasma focus

摘要: This report describes a 1 pulse per second, dense-plasma-focus (DPF) materials-testing device capable of delivering minimum 10$sup 15$ neutrons pulse. Moderate scaling up from existing designs is shown to be sufficient provide 2 x 13$ neutrons/ cm$sup 2$. s suitable target. The average power consumption, which has become major issue due the energy crisis, analyzed with respect other plasma devices and highly favorable. Also discussed novel approach capacitor-bank switch design repetitive-pulse operation. (auth)
