Theoretical view of the plasma focus

Creators

Description

The present theory of the plasma focus device is discussed. Experiments at low pressure clearly show a disruption of the current sheath and the formation of energetic electron and ion beams in a turbulent medium. Possible directions for calculations to explain this conversion of magnetic energy into charged particle beams are indicated
