Electron density measurements on the plasma focus

Creators

Description

The paper presents a determination of the maximum electron density in a plasma focus, produced with the NESSI experimental setup, by the method of laser beam deflection. For each discharge a time-resolved measurement was performed at four different places. Neutron efficiency as well as the time of the initial X-ray emission was registrated. The principle and the economic aspects of the beam deflection method are presented in detail. The experimental findings and the resulting knowledge of the neutron efficiency are discussed. (GG)

Abstract (German)

Die Arbeit berichtet ueber die Bestimmung der maximalen Elektronendichte eines Plasmafokus der Plasmafokusanlage NESSI mit Hilfe der Methode der Laserstrahlenablenkung. Bei jeder Entladung erfolgte die Messung zeitaufgeloest an vier Messorten. Die Neutronenausbeute und der Zeitpunkt des Beginns der Roentgenemission wurden registriert. Auf das Prinzip und die Vorteile der Strahlenablenkungsmethode wird naeher eingegangen. Die Ergebnisse der Messungen und die daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse bezueglich der Neutronenausbeute werden diskutiert. (GG)
