Abstract
Time correlations between neutron and x-ray emissions from a plasma-focus discharge are strongly dependent on photon energy. The time history of neutron emission coincides with that of nonthermal x-ray emission above 30 keV, in a manner consistent with an acceleration model for neutron production. Plasma x radiation below 5 keV corresponds to keV and does not correlate with neutron emission.
