Plasma sheath driven targets

Plasma focus driven target implosions are simulated using hydrodynamic-burn codes. Support is given to the idea that the use of a target in a plasma focus should allow ’’impedance matching’’ between the fuel and gun, permitting larger fusion yields from a focus-target geometry than the scaling laws...

Description
Summary:Plasma focus driven target implosions are simulated using hydrodynamic-burn codes. Support is given to the idea that the use of a target in a plasma focus should allow ’’impedance matching’’ between the fuel and gun, permitting larger fusion yields from a focus-target geometry than the scaling laws for a conventional plasma focus would predict.
