Kinematics and Structure of a Plasma-Focus Current Sheath During its Radial Implosion Stage

Measurements of the light intensity emitted by the current sheath in a plasma focus device are presented. For operating deuterium pressures in the range of 1-4 mbar, radial velocity and acceleration data are given, and, making some assumptions about the characteristics of the radiation emerging from...
