For operation of the plasma focus in nitrogen, a focus pinch compression temperature range of 74–173 eV (0.86 × 106–2 × 106 K) is found to be suitable for good yield of nitrogen soft X-rays in the water window region. Using this temperature window, numerical experiments using five phase Lee model ha...
