ABSTRACT:
A plasma focus apparatus has a field distortion element in the interelectrode gap at the breech end displaced from the sleeve of insulating material between the electrodes. As a result the neutron yield of the accelerator (which should be considered as representative of the good performance of a plasma focus device in all applications) is at least 5 times the yield in the absence of the field distortion element. A knife blade is the preferred embodiment of the field distortion element.
