Experiments and simulations on the possibility of radiative contraction/collapse in the PF-1000 plasma focus
Experimental studies of discharges in the plasma focus facility with neon fi lling and respective numerical simulations employing the radiative Lee code are reported. The pinch currents exceed the Pease-Braginskii current, which indicates that radiative losses are larger than heating and that cont...

| description | Experimental studies of discharges in the plasma focus facility with neon fi lling and respective numerical
simulations employing the radiative Lee code are reported. The pinch currents exceed the Pease-Braginskii
current, which indicates that radiative losses are larger than heating and that contraction of the formed plasma
should occur. Both of these effects were indeed observed. Parallel numerical simulations were crucial for the
identifi cation of such an effect. |
