Indirect-Drive Fusion Target Design for Commercial Fusion Energy
C. R. Weber, A. L. Kritcher, S. Bhandarkar +26
This paper presents the physics basis for commercially relevant laser indirect-drive (LID) (radiation-driven) inertial fusion energy (IFE) using a 10 MJ laser driver. To date, this…
Dual Mode Operation of a Hydromagnetic Plasma Thruster to Achieve Tunable Thrust and Specific Impulse
T. C. Underwood, W. Riedel, M. A. Cappelli
We report here on initial studies of a pulsed hydromagnetic plasma gun that can operate in either a pre-filled or a gas-puff mode on demand. These modes enable agile and responsive…
Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38
The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…
Effects of Flow Collisionality on ELM Replication in Plasma Guns
Thomas C. Underwood, Vivek Subramaniam, William M. Riedel +2
Degradation of first wall materials due to plasma disturbances severely limit both the lifetime and longevity of fusion reactors. Among the various kinds of disturbances, type I ed…
