The study of mechanism of neutron production on the DPF device as the neutron generator

Based on the solutions of the equations of motion and energy of plasma, the dynamic behavior of discharge currents sheath on the DPF assembly is described by the model of one-dimensional snow plot. The solution of the equation of motion on the whole discharge currents between the inter/out electrodes is obtained. The value of duration of the discharge current acceleration is calculated and is compared with the results of experiments well. The value of velocity of anti-pinch phase, the accelerating phase, the pinch-focus phase and the breakdown phase is experimental measured. At the time, the value of anisotropic factor of the distribution on neutron output is measured. So, it is assumed that the main mechanism of neutron production on the DPF assembly is beam-target mechanism. (authors)
