Description
A relation is investigated between the saturation of the neutron yield from megajoule plasma focus facilities and that of the total discharge current. An analytic formula for the neutron yield as a function of the facility energy is derived by simple calculations of the discharge circuit and is verified by computer simulations of the dynamics of the current sheath. The dependence obtained differs from the generally accepted one but agrees well with experimental data
