Properties of the intense ion beams produced in a plasma focus
Abstract
The intense deuteron beams produced in a plasma focus have been studied. The diagnostic methods are based on time-of-flight spectroscopy, with various methods being used to detect the fast particles. The deuteron spectra demonstrate the existence of two groups of particles with peaks near 0.2 and 1.0 MeV. These two groups are explained on the basis of different acceleration mechanisms.
