Characteristic Observation of the Ion Beams in the Plasma Focus Device

Abstract

The proton emission from the plasma focus device with the H₂ filling was analyzed. The ion beam characteristics, particle pinhole image and pinch plasma image were obtained with an aluminum filtered pinhole camera with CR-39 film and x-ray pinhole camera with Be filter respectively. Ring-shaped of ion bunches were observed and also on the pinched plasma column same shape was attributed.
