[en] This paper is devoted to study the characteristic of plasma pinch in Malaysian Nuclear Agency Plasma Focus plasma focus device (MNA-PF) correlated with the various charging voltage with 2 mbar argon gas pressure given. The capacitor charging voltage range varies from 11.5 kV up to 13 kV. Along this range there will be the most optimum operating capacitor voltage for the MNA-PF device. At this optimum range the highest intensity of x-ray will be produced. (author)

[en] Full-text: Developing technologies for focus plasma research technology is very challenging among researchers. Malaysian Nuclear Agency also involved in plasma focus research with Mather-type geometry. A background of the plasma focus system is highlighted. An analysis of the current state of the plasma focus research is presented. Some new opportunities for the use of plasma focus in studies are also discussed. (author)

[en] A new extended experimental chamber is made special for the diversity of experiments on the focus plasma device. The new experimental extended chamber has been designed and operated at 11.0 kV, 13.0 kV and 13.5 kV to study the appropriate voltage supply to produce a good focus and suitable for ion beam production. The initial test was done by argon as a filling gas. (author)

[en] Full-text: This paper describes an experimental basis for neutron radiography in Malaysian Nuclear Plasma Focus. The experimental basis of neutron radiography diagnostics used in this study are neutron radiography film and modern CCD-based digital camera. The present result shows a comparative analysis of neutron emission and its development both as a diagnostics imaging method for the plasma itself. (author)

[en] The paper presents the results of recent experiments performed within the 3.3 kJ Mather type Plasma Focus Device. The Plasma Focus Device is powered by a 30 F single Maxwell capacitor bank, charged up to 15 kV. The formation of the discharge current is measured using a Rogowski coil. The Rogowski coil used in this experiment is a small multi turn solenoid, which is bent in a toroidal form to measure the existing current flowing into the center electrode. All the measurements were performed using argon as the filling gas. The effects of gas pressure on uniform formation of discharge current in a Plasma Focus device are investigated. (author)

[en] A 3.375 kJ plasma focus is designed to operate at 13.5 kV for studying X-ray source in Argon discharge. X-rays are detected by a film from the mammography radiographic plate using radiography technique. The feasibility of plasma focus as a high intensity flash X-ray radiation for a good contrast in radiography image is presented. (author)
