Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report results from a contract tasking Soltan Institute of Nuclear Studies as follows: The contractor will investigate new techniques in order to overcome the neutron saturation effect and to increase the maximum neutron yield. The PF-360 machine will be modified and additional measuring equipment for neutron studies will be installed. Neutron measurements will be performed under selected experimental conditions and used for optimization of neutron yields by the application of gas-puffed targets or special cryogenic targets, and by modifications of the electrode-insulator configuration.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characteristics of neutron production from a 16-27 kJ plasma focus device were systematically studied for device parameters of bank energy, gas pressure, gas impurities and anode geometry. Neutron yields of 10 to the 9th power - to -10 to the 10th power per discharge were obtained with deuterium. Comparison of neutron and hard x-ray production was made using photomultiplier-plastic scintillator detectors. The axial neutron distribution was determined using a paraffin-polyethelene collimator. A good time correlation between the hard x-rays and the neutrons was observed. The dependence of the axial neutron source distribution on pressure was obtained and related to the shape of the collapsing plasma boundary. (Author).

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dense plasma focus (DPF) devices are pulsed power devices capable of producing short-lived, hot and dense plasmas (~1019 cm−3) through a fast compression of plasma sheath. A DPF device provides intense bursts of electrons and ion beams, X-rays, and 2.5 MeV neutrons when operated with deuterium through the fusion reaction 2H(d, n)3He. The Kansas State University DPF machine was designed and constructed in early 2010. The device was characterized to determine its performance as a neutron source. The device was shown to produce 5.0x107 neutrons/pulse using a tungsten-copper anode. Such machines have the advantages of being non-radioactive, movable, and producing short pulses (typically tens of nanoseconds), which allows rapid interrogation. The signature-based radiation-scanning (SBRS) method has been used to distinguish targets that contain explosives or explosive surrogates from targets that contain materials called "inert," meaning they are not explosive-like. Different targets were placed in front of the DPF source at a distance of 45 cm. Four BC-418 plastic scintillators were used to measure the direct neutron yield and the neutrons scattered from various targets; the neutron source and the detectors were shielded with layers of lead, stainless steel, and borated polyethylene to shield against the X-rays and neutrons. One of the plastic scintillators was set at 70° and two were set at 110° from the line of the neutron beam; a bare 3He tube was used for detecting scattered thermal neutrons. Twelve metal cans of one-gallon each containing four explosive surrogates and eight inert materials were used as targets. Nine materials in five-gallon cans including three explosive surrogates were also used. The SBRS method indicated a capability to distinguish the explosive surrogates in both experiments, although the five gallon targets gave more accurate results. The MCNP code was used to validate the experimental work and to simulate real explosives. The simulations indicated the possibility to use the time of flight (TOF) technique in future experimental work, and were able to distinguish all the real explosives from the inert materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights plasma science and technology-related research and development work at institutes and universities networked through Asian African Association for Plasma Training (AAAPT) which was established in 1988. The AAAPT, with 52 member institutes in 24 countries, promotes the initiation and intensification of plasma research and development through cooperation and technology sharing. With 13 chapters on fusion-relevant, laboratory and industrial plasmas for wide range of applications and basic research and a chapter on AAAPT network, it demonstrates how, with collaborations, high-quality, industrially relevant academic and scientific research on fusion, industrial and laboratory plasmas and plasma diagnostics can be successfully pursued in small research labs. These plasma sciences and technologies include pioneering breakthroughs and applications in (i) fusion relevant research in the quest for long-term, clean energy source development using high-temperature, high- density plasmas and (ii) multibillion-dollar, low-temperature, non-equilibrium and thermal industrial plasmas used in processing, synthesis and electronics.
