The emission of charged particles, electron and ion beams, and radiation, soft and hard x-rays, from the pinching plasma have been investigated in the UofS-I dense plasma focus (DPF) device. The UofS-I DPF is in a Mather-type configuration, powered by a 2 kJ, 25 kV-charged capacitor bank, operated with 10–20 mTorr argon gas. The charged particles have been recorded using a Faraday cup for ion beam collection, and a charge collector and a Rogowski coil for the electron beam measurement. Moreover, the soft and hard x-rays have been detected using a BPX-65, filtered silicon PIN photodiode and a scintillator, respectively. The time delays of signals with respect to the pinch time have been compared. Strong correlations of the charged particles and the x-ray emission intensities with the voltage peak and current dip have been observed, and consequently indicate their dependence on the anode voltage and strength of pinching of plasma.

在UofS-1密集等离子体聚焦（DPF）设备中，已经研究了从收缩等离子体发射带电粒子，电子束和离子束以及辐射，软X射线和硬X射线。UofS-I DPF处于马瑟型配置，由2 kJ，25 kV充电的电容器组供电，以10–20 mTorr的氩气运行。已使用法拉第杯记录了带电粒子，以收集离子束，并使用电荷收集器和Rogowski线圈记录了电子束。此外，分别使用BPX-65，已过滤的硅PIN光电二极管和闪烁器检测了软X射线和硬X射线。已经比较了信号相对于收缩时间的时间延迟。观察到带电粒子和X射线发射强度与电压峰值和电流骤降之间存在很强的相关性，
