Electron Tail Suppression and Effective Collisionality due to Synchrotron Emission and Absorption in Mildly Relativistic Plasmas
Ian E. Ochs, Mikhail E. Mlodik, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Synchrotron radiation losses are a significant cause of concern for high-temperature aneutronic fusion reactions such as proton-Boron 11. The fact that radiation losses occur prima…
Extending the Single-Fluid Solvability Conditions for More General Plasma Systems
E. J. Kolmes, M. E. Mlodik, N. J. Fisch
We extend the single-fluid solvability conditions to include plasma systems at arbitrary with arbitrary flows and external forcing terms. This treatment includes both the isotr…
Sensitivity of synchrotron radiation to the superthermal electron population in mildly relativistic plasma
M. E. Mlodik, V. R. Munirov, T. Rubin +1
Synchrotron radiation has markedly different behavior in and in plasma. We show that high-energy electrons which occupy the tail of v…
Improving the Feasibility of Economical Proton-Boron 11 Fusion via Alpha Channeling with a Hybrid Fast and Thermal Proton Scheme
Ian E. Ochs, Elijah J. Kolmes, Mikhail E. Mlodik +2
The proton-Boron 11 (p-B11) fusion reaction is much harder to harness for commercial power than the easiest fusion reaction, namely the deuterium and tritium (DT) reaction. The p-B…
Fueling limits in a cylindrical viscosity-limited reactor
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
Recently, a method to achieve a "natural hot-ion mode" was suggested, by utilizing ion viscous heating in a rotating plasma with a fixed boundary. We explore the steady-state solut…
Partial-Ionization Deconfinement Effect in Magnetized Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +2
In partially ionized plasma, where ions can be in different ionization states, each charge state can be described as a different fluid for the purpose of multi-ion collisional tran…
