Wave-Supported Hybrid Fast-Thermal p-B Fusion
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
The possibility of fusion ignition in proton-Boron plasma is strongly enhanced if the energy from the fusion-produced particles is channeled to fast protons, but in an e…
Generalized Impurity Pinch in Partially Magnetized Multi-Ion Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +1
In a two-ion-species plasma with disparate ion masses, heavy ions tend to concentrate in the low-temperature region of collisionally magnetized plasma and in the high-temperature r…
Natural Hot Ion Modes in a Rotating Plasma
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, M. E. Mlodik +1
In steady state, the fuel cycle of a fusion plasma requires inward particle fluxes of fuel ions. These particle flows are also accompanied by heating. In the case of classical tran…
Nonresonant Diffusion in Alpha Channeling
Ian E. Ochs, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The gradient of fusion-born alpha particles that arises in a fusion reactor can be exploited to amplify waves, which cool the alpha particles while diffusively extracting them from…
Trace Impurity Transport in Multi-Species Plasmas with Large Particle Fluxes
E. Litvinova Mitra, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +3
A burning fusion plasma has a large inwards flux of fuel and outwards flux of ash. Existing impurity transport theories do not account for a steady-state environment of such large…
Heat Pump via Charge Incompressibility in a Collisional Magnetized Multi-Ion Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +1
Stratification due to ion-ion friction in a magnetized multiple-ion species plasma is shown to be accompanied by a heat pump effect, identified for the first time here, transferrin…
