The results of the study of axial plasma flows generated in a plasma focus-type setup are presented. The study is performed using laser probing and plasma diagnosing techniques based on image converter means. The dependences of the parameters of axial plasma flows on the electrode shape, gas pressure in a discharge chamber, and gas type are found. The optimum setup operating conditions are determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
