Study of dense plasma-surface interaction by a Filippov type plasma focus device

In this paper we have tried to investigate of dense plasma-material interaction in a Filippov type plasma focus (90KJ, 25KV, 288µf) facility. Dense plasma focus discharges are known as a remarkable source of hot plasma bunches and fast streams, fast neutrons, hard and soft X-rays, and energetic particles such as ions and electrons. The Aluminum made targets with 20cm in diameter and thickness 5mm, were placed at the central part of plasma focus cathode. These targets were exposed to perpendicular dense high temperature plasma stream incidence. The working gases for these experiments were Argo...
