In this paper, neutron emission from a 3 KJ Mather-type plasma focus is studied. Specifically, the behavior of system with the change in anode length is investigated. Anode lengths of high and low fluence anisotropy as well as for high neutron yield are identified. Experiment also suggest the possibility of ion beam generation leading to neutron production via beam-plasma interaction.
