Abstract:
This paper describes experiments on foam liners performed with the PF-1000 plasma focus facility. A streak camera has been
used to observe interaction of a hydrogen plasma current sheath with a cylindrical foam target. It is shown that a thin foam
liner can be uniformly imploded by a plasma focus current sheath.
