Experimental studies of the interaction of ion- and plasma-streams with carbon-based targets placed near a cathode of plasma-focus facility

摘要

The paper presents measuring techniques and results of experiments performed within the PF-1000 PlasmaFocus facility in order to investigate the interaction of high-energy deuteron beams (of ED >100 keV) and deuterium plasma streams (of vstr ≥ 10⁷ cm/s) with carbon-based materials, designed for the first wall of a future thermonuclear reactor of the ICF or MCF type. Particular attention was paid to the verification of diagnostic techniques, which might be used for time- and space-resolved studies of the interaction of ion- and plasmastreams with the targets placed near the cathode outlet inside the experimental device.
