Neutron Scaling Laws from Numerical Experiments

Experimental data of neutron yield Yn against pinch current Ipinch is assembled to produce a more global scaling law than available. From the data a mid-range point is obtained to calibrate the neutron production mechanism of the Lee Model code. This code is then used for numerical experiments...
