Resumen:
In this paper, a model of Plasma Focus without surrounding cathode containing the radial expansion of the current sheath is presented. This configuration has been increasingly used in recent miniature devices. The model, based on the snowplow approximation, was applied to calculate the voltage along the pinch in a small 300 J device, showing good agreement with the experiments. The results can be useful in the design of x-rays applications of Plasma-Focus devices.
