Delayed hot spots in a low energy plasma focus

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Neutron Physics Div.

Description

In a low energy Mather-type plasma focus device, hot spots having temperature in the range of few keV have been observed even 1 μs after the pinch disintegration and in regions away from the pinch area. These hot spots are perhaps created by the thermal runaway due to temperature fluctuations in the background gas. (author). 12 refs., 6 figs
