Description

We report preliminary experimental studies of heavy-ion beams produced by a new type of plasma focus device which is powered by a fast high-voltage pulse of approx.500 kV, approx.20 kA, and approx.50 ns. A variety of ion species, either from solid materials or gases, were obtained and their beam characteristics, including charge states, energy spectrum, and emittance, were measured
