Study of the plasma pinch and ion beam properties versus the nitrogen gas pressure using the Lee model code

This study presents the results of a series of numerical experiments that ‎were carried out using Lee code in order to study the ‎properties of plasma pinch versus nitrogen gas pressure and its ‎effect on the number and energy of ion beams emitted from the ‎two dense plasma focus devices PF400 and APF. The results showed ‎that the number of nitrogen ions ‎are 7.9×10 13 ions (for PF400) and 3.82×10 14 ions (for APF), while the highest ‎beam energy is 18 J for APF, due to the effect of the operating energy and ‎the parameters of the two studied devices on the ‎properties of the ion source (the pinch). This study presents the ‎properties of an ion source that can be used in practical applications. ‎ ‎
