Abstract:
This paper presents the results of laboratory and explosive experiments with a plasma focus discharge Mather-type chamber at a discharge current amplitude of 1.3–1.4 MA. It has been found that in laboratory experiments, the yield of a deuterium-deuterium neutrons reached 1011, and in an explosive experiment using the chamber filled with a deuterium-tritium gas mixture, the integral yield of a deuterium-tritium neutrons with an energy of 14 MeV was more than 1012 neutrons.
