Abstract
This paper reports on a foam liner experiment performed for the first time with the PF 1000 large plasma focus facility. The interaction of the plasma focus current-sheath with the liner was the problem of main interest in ou r experiment. It was shown that a thin foam liner can be imploded by a coax ial current sheath. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
