Abstract

Purpose: The radial speed of plasma current sheath was measured at the plasma focus apparatus. Methods: The measurement was used to time-resolved spectroscopic method and Rogowski coils. Results: Radial current sheath speed was measured with $10^5$ cm/s at Helium and Argon pressure between 5 to 100 torr and discharging voltage of 15 kV. When the gas pressure was increased, the current sheath speeds were decreased. Conclusions: At the optimum condition of plasma focus apparatus, the radial speed is guessed $10^7$ cm/s as a results of the measurement of current sheath speed.

목적: 펄스형 방전플라스마 포커스 장치에서 반경방향 플라스마 current sheath 의 속력을 측정하였다. 방법: 측정에는 시간분해 분광분석법과 로고프스키 코일이 사용되었다. 결과: 15 kV의 방전전압과 수십 torr의 He과 Ar의 기체기압에서 $10^5$ cm/s의 속력이 측정되었으며, 기체기압이 증가할수록 current sheath의 속력은 감소되었다. 결론: 최적조건인 수 torr의 기압에서는 $10^7$ cm/s의 속력이 나올 것으로 예상된다.
