Abstract
The fusion neutrons from Z-pinch devices are observed and studied for last fifty years. Many experimental and theoretical papers were published in this field. Some problems are still under discussion, for example, a thermal or beam-target origin of neutrons, mechanism of acceleration of high-energy electrons and ions, correlation of hard x-rays with neutrons, a reason for asymmetry of emitted particles and radiation, development of diagnostic methods and interpretation of results. This paper presents an experimental results of neutrons produced at the implosion of an Al liner onto a CD2 fiber at the 3 MA fast Z-pinch S-300 in RRC Kurchatov Institute in Moscow. The velocity and energy of neutrons in the axial direction were estimated from the temporal position of the maximum of neutron signals at two different distances from the neutron source and the relationship between hard x-rays and neutrons is discussed.
