Abstract
Radiation emission in a 2.2 kJ Mather-type plasma focus device is investigated using a five channel BPX65 PIN diode spectrometer. At optimum condition, radiation emission from the system is found to be strongly influenced in hollow anode and filling gas pressure. Maximum X-ray yield in 4p sr has been obtained in case of hollow anode in argon gas medium due to interaction of electron beam. Results indicate that an appropriate design of anode can enhance radiation emission by more intense interaction of expected electron beam with hollow anode. The outcome is helpful to design a plasma focus with enhanced X-ray generation with improved shot-to-shot reproducibility in plasma focus device.
