Experimental results and analysis of plasma dynamics and radiation output of the 100 kV dense plasma focus FAETON-I

Abstract FAETON-I is the highest direct-charged voltage plasma focus (PF), at 100 kV, 1 MA peak current. F-I produces consistent $$2.5 \times 10^{10}$$ D-D neutrons/shot, over 3 MeV X-rays and $$\sim 350$$ keV deuterons, demonstrating unique combined neutron-gamma environment. Its peak neutron yield...
