Measurements of the energy spectrum of the DT neutrons from a plasma focus are reported. The measurements were made by a time-of-flight method with an energy resolution (ΔΕ/Ε)~0Α%. The kinetics of the neutron emission from the focus was taken into account in finding the neutron spectrum. The ion temperature calculated under the assumption that these neutrons are of thermonuclear origin lies in the range 3-5 keV.
