| description | Recent extensive and systematic numerical experiments have uncovered new
insights into plasma focus fusion devices including the following: (1) a plasma current
limitation effect, as device static inductance is reduced towards very small values;
(2) scaling laws of neutron yield and soft x-ray yield as functions of storage energies and
currents; (3) a global scaling law for neutron yield as a function of storage energy
combining experimental and numerical data showing that scaling deterioration has
probably been interpreted as neutron ‘saturation’; and (4) a fundamental cause of neutron
‘saturation’. The ground-breaking insights thus gained may completely change the
directions of plasma focus fusion research. |
