Bremsstrahlung constraints on proton-Boron 11 inertial fusion
I. E. Ochs, E. J. Kolmes, A. S. Glasser +1
Proton-Boron 11 (pB11) fusion is relatively safe and clean, but difficult to use for net power production, since bremsstrahlung radiation tends to radiate away power more quickly t…
Approximating the Particle Distribution in Rotating and Tandem Mirror Traps
Greta X. Li, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +1
Steady state distribution functions can be used to calculate stability conditions for modes, radiation energy losses, and particle loss rates. Heuristic analytic approximations to…
Preventing ash from poisoning proton-boron 11 fusion plasmas
Ian E. Ochs, Elijah J. Kolmes, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Proton-Boron 11 (pB11) fusion is safe and clean, but also difficult to harness for breakeven power production. Particularly deleterious are fusion-born alpha particles, which massi…
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…
Gromov ground state in phase space engineering for fusion energy
Hong Qin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Michael Updike +2
Phase space engineering by RF waves plays important roles in both thermal D-T fusion and non-thermal advanced fuel fusion. But not all phase space manipulation is allowed, certain…
Energy Spectrum of Lost Alpha Particles in Magnetic Mirror Confinement
Alejandro Mesa Dame, Ian E. Ochs, Nathaniel J. Fisch
In a magnetic mirror fusion reactor, capturing the energy of fusion-produced alpha particles is essential to sustaining the reaction. However, since alpha particles are born at ene…
