Conditions for Radiative Cooling and Collapse in the Plasma Focus Illustrated With Numerical Experiments on PF1000

Reduced Pease-Braginskii currents are estimated for a linear pinch in a range of gases, namely, D, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. A characteristic depletion time is defined as the time it takes for the plasma focus (PF) pinch energy to be radiated away. This quantity is used as an indicator for expectation...
