Beam heating in a "plasma focus"
High-speed interferometry methods are uded to show that powerful electron beams, subjected to hose instability and focusing in the plasma, are produced during the concluding stage in a plasma focus. The anomalous scattering of the diagnostics laser radiation and the powerful x-radiation of the plasma from the beam-focusing region point to the development of two-stream instability and strong heating of the plasma in this region. This explain the principal neutron pulse produced in the setup.
