Description

Neutron emission from a small Mather-type plasma focus facility operated by a single 32 μF, 15 kV capacitor is studied. Specifically, the effects of insulator sleeve length and a ''ceiling'' introduced in front of the central electrode on the neutron yield and on the fluence anisotropy are investigated. (orig.)
