Structure of a Plasma-Focus Current Sheath from Magnetic and Optical Measurements

Simultaneous measurements of the magnetic-field distribution and the light intensity emitted by the current sheath (CS) generated in a Plasma Focus (PF) device are presented. For operating deuterium pressures in the range 0.55-2.5 mbar, we derive the plasma density and the mean hydrodynamic velocity...
