Description

The results of electron beam generations (ν/γ approximatelly 0.5, peak current of 1-10 A) by a low voltage (16 KV), low energy (6 KJ) Mather type plasma focus are presented for D2, H2 and He. Pulse multiplicity (1-10) with a time duration up to 800 us is found, showing the existence of remaining activity in the plasma, after the current sheath coolapse, capable of sustaining fast energy release. (L.C.)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Apresentam-se os resultados da geracao de feixe de eletrons (ν, γ aproximadamente 0.5, corrente de pico de 1-10 A) por uma baixa voltagem (16 KV), baixa energia foco de plasma do tipo Mather para D2, H2 e He. Encontra-se a multiplicidade de pulso (1-10) com uma duracao temporal ate 800 ns, mostrando a existencia de uma atividade residual no plasma, apos o colapso da corrente de envelope, capaz de sustentar a liberacao rapida de energia.
