Abstract
Abstract
This study presents the results of a series of numerical experiments that were carried out using Lee code in order to study the properties of plasma pinch versus nitrogen gas pressure and its effect on the number and energy of ion beams emitted from the two dense plasma focus devices PF400 and APF. The results showed that the number of nitrogen ions are 7.9×1013 ions (for PF400) and 3.82×1014 ions (for APF), while the highest beam energy is 18 J for APF, due to the effect of the operating energy and the parameters of the two studied devices on the properties of the ion source (the pinch). This study presents the properties of an ion source that can be used in practical applications.
