چکیده

Plasma focus (PF) device belongs to the family of dynamic non-cylindrical Z-pinches. In this device hot dense magnetized plasma is created as a result of a discharge between coaxial electrodes over a surface of isolator in a working gas. If the working gas is deuterium, then DD fusion reactions take place, in the so-called plasma column or plasma pinch, which is created at the end of a central electrode (anode) [1–4]. Over the last few years, the interest in plasma focus devices has grown because they are effi cient sources of fusion neutrons, fast ions, soft and hard X-rays, and at the same time, they are relatively cheap in exploitation. Thus, they can be used in – basic research on plasma physics and nuclear fusion, – testing new plasma and nuclear fusion detectors and diagnostic systems, – study on the mechanism of nuclear fusion reactions, and – study of plasma-wall interactions. Moreover, the optimization of the operation of PFs can help to obtain more effi cient and intense sources of neutron and X-ray radiation, which can fi nd use in different branches of science. The discharge in the Mather-type PF devices can be divided into three main stages: breakdown and Diagnostic systems for the nuclear fusion and plasma research in the PF-24 plasma focus laboratory at the IFJ PAN Łukasz Marciniak, Anna Wójcik-Gargula, Agnieszka Kulińska, Jakub Bielecki, Urszula Wiącek

Double Langmuir probe measurement of plasma parameters in a dc glow discharge

In this paper, plasma main characteristics such as electron mean temperature, electron number density, and oscillation frequency have been measured experimentally using the double Langmuir probe diagnostic system. In our experiment, the plasma was generated by applying the low pressure dc glow discharge in several common gases. The experimental results indicated the highest plasma density and o...

Effect of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has received great attention due to its noteworthy ability, and has also been widely studied over few decades in physics, biology and medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cold atmospheric pressure plasma effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 was used for this experiment. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in 24-well plate and...

شبیه‌سازی امواج ضربه‌ای مگنتوهیدرودینامیکی (MHD) در پلاسمایی از نوع تنگش Z

  A plasma focus facility is a magnetically confinement fusion device, characterized by a relatively simple structure. Nowadays, it is a well-known fact that the theory of shock waves stands for temperature increment in plasma of a PF device. On the other hand, we also know that computer simulations can make experimental works easier and more cost- effective. So based on the MHD theory, shock w...

Plasma Wave Acceleration of Electron in Bubble Regime in Presence of a Planar Wiggler

The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

The study of neutron interactions with soft tissue using Monte Carlo simulation using the source PF

The most important part of neutron therapy treatment (NCT1) is to achieve a beam of neutrons with suitable energy and intensity, as well as the least pollution and damage. In this study, in order to correct the neutron spectrum from D-D fusion and its use in neutron therapy, a set of different materials which are called the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) was placed in the direction of energy 2.45 ...
