| description |
A recent paper derived benchmarks for deuteron beam fluence and flux in a plasma focus (PF)
[S. Lee and S. H. Saw, Phys. Plasmas 19, 112703 (2012)]. In the present work we start from first
principles, derive the flux equation of the ion beam of any gas; link to the Lee Model code and
hence compute the ion beam properties of the PF. The results show that, for a given PF, the
fluence, flux, ion number and ion current decrease from the lightest to the heaviest gas except for
trend-breaking higher values for Ar fluence and flux. The energy fluence, energy flux, power flow,
and damage factors are relatively constant from H 2 to N 2 but increase for Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe due to
radiative cooling and collapse effects. This paper provides much needed benchmark reference values and scaling trends for ion beams of a PF operated in any gas. |
