In this paper, the possibilities to perform aneutronic fusion in Plasma Focus (PF) devices have been presented. For this purpose, an idea of doping plasma by means of laser ablation of a solid boron target during discharge in PF-24 was presented. Some estimates have been made, based on the processes occurring during the discharge in the PF system with gas injection using a fast gas valve, indicating that this method allows the generation of hydrogen–boron plasma. The yield of the 11B(p,α)αα reaction was calculated. The results presented in this paper show that this yield is high enough to register and measure the alpha particles emitted from the plasma column consisting boron and hydrogen. The estimates were made for the parameters characteristic for PF-24.

在等离子聚焦装置中引发质子-硼核聚变反应的可能性

在本文中，提出了在等离子体聚焦 (PF) 设备中进行非中子融合的可能性。为此，提出了在 PF-24 放电期间通过激光烧蚀固体硼靶材来掺杂等离子体的想法。根据使用快速气阀注入气体的 PF 系统中放电过程中发生的过程进行了一些估计，表明该方法允许产生氢-硼等离子体。计算 11B(p,α)αα 反应的产率。本文中的结果表明，该产量足以记录和测量由硼和氢组成的等离子体柱发射的 α 粒子。对 PF-24 的参数特性进行了估计。
