Read out from the Far Time of Flight. In this shot the bank produced 0.56 MA at 30 kV, well below its ultimate potential.
LPP deduced this energy from the timing of the X-ray and neutron pulses observed by the FTF. The first very sharp peak is the X-ray pulse, caused by radiation from hot electrons in the plasmoid and arriving at the FTF at the speed of light, 30 cm per ns. The second group of peaks is the neutrons, traveling much slower and arriving later. The neutrons are produced by DD fusion reactions and should have a velocity of 2.2 cm per ns and should arrive 719 ns after the X-rays. We also know that the fusion reactions only occur once the electrons have heated up the ions.
