RESUMO

The measurement of the voltage between electrodes and the discharge current time derivative in Plasma Focus devices can be used to obtain important information on the neutron-producing pinch stage of the mentioned devices. The analysis of a 60-shots experimental run in a 5.7 kJ Mather-type device results in correlations suggesting that the neutron yield depends mostly on the average energy per particle delivered to the plasma during the pinch stage.
