Abstract
This article is about the characteristics of the hard X-ray (HXR) emission from the Filippov type plasma focus (PF) device, Dena. The article begins with a brief presentation of Dena, and the mechanism of the HXR production in PF devices. Then using the differential absorption spectrometry, the energy resolved spectrum of the HXR emission from a 37 kJ discharge in Dena, is estimated. The energy flux density and the energy fluence of this emission have also been calculated to be 1.9 kJ cm−2 s−1 and 9.4 × 10−5 J cm−2. In the end, after presentation of radiography of sheep bones and calf ribs, the medical application of the PF devices has been discussed.
