Plasma focus experiments with DT-filled microballoons

  • 1. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Univ. of California, Livermore, CA 94550

Description

This chapter describes experiments with DT-filled glass microballoons positioned near the pinch region of a plasma focus which resulted in the production of neutrons which do not appear to be due to D-T reactions. Subsequent to this series of experiments it was found that occasionally neutrons were produced in the H2-filled plasma focus even in the absence of a DT microballoon
