Generalized Time-Coarse Graining via an Operator Cumulant Expansion
Leon Bello, Tal Rubin, Wentao Fan +2
We introduce a general framework for deriving effective dynamics from arbitrary time-dependent generators, based on a systematic operator cumulant expansion. Unlike traditional app…
Ponderomotive barriers in rotating mirror devices using static fields
Tal Rubin, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Particularly for aneutronic fusion schemes, it is advantageous to manipulate the fuel species differently from one another, as well as expel ash promptly. The ponderomotive effect…
Analysis and mitigation of pulse-pile-up tail artifacts in warm-plasma pulse-height X-ray spectra
Taosif Ahsan, Charles Swanson, Christopher Galea +4
Pulse pile-up in pulse-height energy analyzers increases when the incident rate of pulses increases relative to the inverse of the dead time per pulse of the detection system. Chan…
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…
Finite-Difference Multiple Fluid Solution for Source-Driven Rotation in Highly Magnetized Linear Plasma Device
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
The rotation profile of a magnetized plasma cylinder composed of multiple fluids is investigated analytically, expanding on previous results. The analytic steady-state solution is…
