An ignition criterion for inertial fusion boosted by microturbulence
Henry Fetsch, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Turbulence enhances fusion reactivity, enabling ignition at lower temperature. A modified Lawson-like ignition criterion is derived for inertially confined plasmas harboring turbul…

Analytical models for the enhancement of fusion reactivity by turbulence
Henry Fetsch, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The reactivity of fusion plasma depends not only on its local density and temperature but also, through a recently identified kinetic effect, on the relative velocities of nearby f…
