Resumen:
The basic engineering criteria for conceptual design of plasma focus devices is derived from a thermonuclear model, and applied successfully to the operation of small neutron pulsors. The theory is able to explain the variation of the neutron yield with the gas pressure in deuterium filled chambers, the current evolution and the electrode geometrical parameters. The performance of a prototype designed to optimize the flux/fluence ratio is presented, contrasting the experimental outcomes with the model. A set of effective design parameters is deduced, which ensure a band confidence of 20 %.
