Dense
Plasma Focus “Bora” operational at The Abdus Salam International Centre for
Theoretical Physics and experiments provided with the device
This paper
presents a description of a new gas-discharge device of the Dense Plasma Focus
type, which
recently (in 2008) became operational in the Multidisciplinary Laboratory at
the
Abdus Salam
International Centre for Theoretical Physics. This facility is intended for use
in
three
directions: a) fundamental investigations in a sphere of physics of dense
magnetized
plasma; b)
as a source of nanosecond pulses of hard and soft X-Rays, neutrons, as well as
hot
plasma,
fast ion and electron streams for applied researches in the fields of radiation
material
sciences,
dynamic quality control and nuclear (in particular X-Ray and neutron) medicine;
and c) for
training young scientists in high-voltage, vacuum and electrical discharge
techniques,
in plasma physics and diagnostics, in X-Ray and neutron spectroscopy, as well
as
in the
above-mentioned applications of the DPF-based source of nanosecond (ns) hard
radiation
flashes. The report includes a work mix used within the device, their
assembling, as
well as
some results of tests of the components and systems comprised in this facility.
Several
experiments
recently provided with this device in the above-mentioned fields are described
here
together with the results obtained, and with the discussion of specificity of
plasma
diagnostics
applied to Dense Plasma Foci. The necessary radiation safety measures to follow
with the
device are discussed at the end of the paper.
