Abstract
In this paper, the results of the study of the influence of the applied external axial magnetic field on the dynamics of pinch and neutron production are presented, following from measurements using x-ray, interferometry and neutron diagnostics performed on the plasma-focus PF-1000 device with deuterium as the filling gas at the current of 2 MA and neutron yield above 1010. The permanent magnets with a magnetic field of a few hundredths of tesla were used both inside the anode body and in front of the end of the dense column. This magnetic field decreases the neutron yield, depresses the implosion velocity and the velocity of the transformations of internal structures, stabilizes the pinch column, increases its axial symmetry and indirectly confirms the existence of internal closed currents inside the pinch structures.
