Present work presents calculations and experimental studies on the formation and dynamics of plasma on the "plasma focus" set up. Physical conditions were determined and critical parameters were calculated for estimating the neutron yield for kilojoule and megajoule set ups. The results of plasma diagnostics and flow formation in the CPA-30 and PF-4 set ups are also shown. A comparison of calculated data and experimental values is performed. The value of the neutron yield parameter is justified and the possible cause of the appearance of saturation is indicated. The rationale for the development of further research in the direction of creating conditions for thermonuclear fusion in installations of the plasma focus type is given. The neutron flux was observed on high-voltage gas discharges with a specific geometry of the electrodes. The result of measuring the anisotropy of the neutron yield along the axial z and radial φ directions was equal to Yn(z)/Yn(φ)~ 2 ÷ 3, which contradicts the thermonuclear mechanism.

Stable neutron generation with a yield of ∼1.2 × 104 neutrons per pulse was obtained during d(d,n)3He reaction initiated by the high-voltage nanosecond discharge in a gap with a potential tungsten cylinder (anode) and a grounded deuterated zirconium plate (cathode) filled with deuterium at a pressure of ∼102 Pa. Estimated duration of the neutron pulse was ∼1.5 ns. Less intensive neutron emission was registered without deuterated plate. Splashing of material of the tungsten electrode was observed during the high-voltage nanosecond discharge in the deuterium, hydrogen, helium and argon at pressures of 102–104 Pa.
