Powerful neutron source based on a Z pinch
We compare the presently existing Z-pinch modifications. A proposed model whereby the thermal fraction of the neutron yield is produced (heating by an electron beam) is used to explain the increase of the neutron yield and of its thermal fraction with decreasing length of collective deceleration of the beam in the Z-pinch. An experimental setup is proposed for increasing the neutron yield, based on a deuterated target at the chamber anode, preheated with a powerful laser prior to development of the relativistic electron beam in the Z-pinch.
