The work reported here was based on investigations of neutrons and
X-rays emitted from a Mather type plasma focus by varying charging
voltage (capacitor energy/ discharged current) and employing
different pre-ionization schemes to obtain high neutrons and
photons emission. It was observed that the radiated energy strongly
depends upon the filling pressure as well as on effectiveness of
pre-ionization. There was a significant increase in the neutron
emission, characteristics and total X-ray emission with
pre-ionization caused by depleted uranium as compared to other
pre-ionization schemes. Thus pre-ionization prior to pulse
discharge plays an important role in the breakdown phase of the
plasma focus operation, broadens pressure range for both neutron
and X-ray emission and improves shot to shot reproducibility of the
system. The results may be interesting for using a plasma focus as
an enhanced neutron and X-ray emission source for different
applications.
