NEUTRONS OF POSSIBLE THERMONUCLEAR ORIGIN
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Letters
Neutrons were produced from a deuterium plasma compressed by a rising axial magnetic field. The device used, named Scylla, at present employs three single-turn coils. The emission of both x rays and neutrons were observed during the second and to a lesser extent later compressions. X rays, when observed, occur during the beginning and the end of a compression cycle when the electric fleld is high. In contrast, neutrons occur only in summetrical bursts lasting about 1 mu sec centered on the instant of compression. (M.H.R.)
