摘要：

The correlation between the neutron yield Y from a plasma focus device and the jump in the discharge current Delta I has been studied experimentally. The total yield of the DD neutron source was measured by the method of activation of silver isotopes. The time dependences of the neutron and gamma-radiation yields were recorded using scintillation detectors. It is found that, for the given experimental device, the neutron yield depends linearly on the jump in the discharge current Delta I at the instant of neutron generation. The influence of the initial deuterium pressure in the discharge chamber on this dependence is examined.
