Abstract
The dynamic characteristics of the discharge current in a thermonuclear plasma focus installation and its dependence on neutron emission was studied. The dynamics of the formation of discharge pickcurrent was measured and analysed through the Rogowskiy belt and activated neutron flux with an activated silver foil detector. According to the results of the analysis, the discharge peak current at a voltage of 18 kV from 200 to 265 kA and the pinch current was varied depending on the pressure between 178–230 kA. Accordingly, the neutron flux was 8·106–2.2·107 neutron/imp. The dependence of neutron emission on discharge pinch current in plasma focus device installation is described.
