Numerical Experiments on PF1000 Neutron Yield

Numerical experiments are carried out, using the Lee model code to compute the neutron yield Y n of PF1000 as a function of pressure. Computed results are compared with available published results of neutron yield. Relevant plasma focus properties such as peak discharge current I peak , pinch current I pinch , pinch ion density n i and energy input into the pinch EINP are also discussed as functions of pressures so as to provide correlation of Y n with relevant plasma focus properties over the operational range of pressures.
