Neutron Anisotropy Measurements on MJOLNIR Dense Plasma Focus

POSTER

Abstract

Dense plasma focus (DPF) Z-pinches are compact pulse power driven devices consisting of two coaxial electrodes, separated by an insulator, and filled with a low-density gas. MJOLNIR is a dense plasma focus (DPF) located at LLNL being developed to produce a neutron source for flash neutron radiography which has produced neutron pulse when driven with > 3.8 MA. DPFs produce neutrons through a combination of thermal and beam-target processes. Results will be on inferred neutron fluence angular distribution and energy spectrum from time of flight and activation detectors. This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344. LLNL-ABS- 851333
