Measurement of Radiative Collapse in 2.2 kJ PF: Achieving High Energy Density (HED) Conditions in a Small Plasma Focus

Radiative collapse in the plasma focus (PF) pinch creates extreme high energy density (HED) in the laboratory. The Pease–Braginskii current is that current flowing in a hydrogen pinch which is just large enough for bremsstrahlung to balance Joule heating; this threshold value being 1.4 MA. For high-...
