Observation of poloidal magnetic flux emission from a low-pressure spark: validation of the hypothesis of constrained plasma dynamics?

A. B. Blagoev, V. Yordanov, S. K. H. Auluck

This paper revisits an earlier discussion of the hypothesis of constrained dynamics [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 41, 2013 pp. 437-446] with better experiments and insights. This hypoth…

On the failure of neutron yield scaling in the Dense Plasma Focus

S K H Auluck

The observed scaling of neutron yield in the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) as the fourth power of the current in the plasma was the principal driver of the growth of DPF research in its…

The Generalized Plasma Focus Problem and its Application to Space Propulsion

S K H Auluck

Space propulsion is unique among many proposed applications of the Dense Plasma Focus in being critically dependent on the availability of a scaling theory that is well-grounded in…

First steps towards a theory of the Dense Plasma Focus: Part-I: Kinematic framework with built-in propagation delay and nonzero thickness of dense sheath for generalized electrode geometry

S K H Auluck

This paper, Part I of a series, describes a kinematic framework for the theory of a Dense Plasma Focus which is very similar to the GV model in spirit but which differs in its scop…

On the construction of a local curvilinear coordinate system conforming to the native curved geometry of the plasma focus sheath

S K H Auluck

This paper describes in detail the construction of a local right-handed, orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system whose axes are along the local tangent, the local azimuth and the…

Detection of poloidal magnetic flux emission from a plasma focus -- First Experiments at Sofia University

A B Blagoev, S K H Auluck

The existence of axial (poloidal) magnetic field in a plasma focus and its significance in plasma focus phenomenology has been extensively discussed in a recent review paper. The p…
