Abstract

Experimental results related to HXR and SXR properties of Neon plasma on the APF plasma focus device is presented. The experiments were carried on over a wide range of neon pressure and at voltages 11, 12 and 13 kV using plastic scintillator (NE102A) coupled with high gain PMT and six filtered photo PIN diodes. For the charging voltages of 11–13 kV with 2.17–3.04 kJ stored energy, the optimum operating pressure in neon is found to be in the range of 3.5–5 torr and the highest HXR emission was observed in the pressure of 5 torr at the voltage 13 kV and the maximum average HXR production is (9.84 ± 0.59) ×10–7 volt sec. The behavior of SXR intensities were registered by different filters and it was found out that Al-Mylar 6 μm and Cu 10 μm has the highest and lowest amount of X-ray transmission.
