Experimental study of the performance of a very small repetitive plasma focus device in different working conditions

详细

SORENA-1 is a very small repetitive Mather-type plasma focus device (20 J) that can operate at frequencies up to 1 Hz. This device has been designed and constructed in the Plasma and Nuclear Fusion Research School of the Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute of Iran. In this article, the structure of SORENA-1 is described and results of experiments with Ar, Ne, and D₂ working gases at several discharge voltages and initial pressures are presented and analyzed.
