An Enhanced RPA-LDA Model for Ion Stopping Power from Cold Matter to High-Energy Density Plasmas: A Unified, Open-Source Framework
Thomas A. Mehlhorn, Ming Feng Gu, Igor Golovkin
We present an enhanced random-phase-approximation--local-density-approximation (e-RPA-LDA) model for the stopping power of ions that is valid over a wide range of conditions, from…

Monte Carlo Simulations of Suprathermal Enhancement in Advanced Nuclear Fusion Fuels
Marcus Borscz, Thomas A. Mehlhorn, Patrick A. Burr +2
Suprathermal fusion reactions, initiated by energetic particles slowing down and scattering in dense plasmas, can modify the burn dynamics at inertial confinement fusion (ICF) regi…
