A laser plasma soliton fusion scheme
Pisin Chen, Yung-Kun Liu, Gerard Mourou
We introduce a novel and generic fusion scheme enabled by laser-plasma solitons, which promises to overcome several fundamental obstructions to reaching the breakeven condition. To…

Picosecond-petawatt laser-block ignition of avalanche boron fusion by ultrahigh acceleration and ultrahigh magnetic fields
H. Hora, P. Lalousis, L. Giuffrida +7
Fusion energy from reacting hydrogen (protons) with the boron isotope 11 (HB11) resulting in three stable helium nuclei, is without problem of nuclear radiation in contrast to DT f…

Hole boring in a DT pellet and fast ion ignition with ultra-intense laser pulses
N. Naumova, T. Schlegel, V. T. Tikhonchuk +3
Recently achieved high intensities of short laser pulses open new prospects in their application to hole boring in inhomogeneous overdense plasmas and for ignition in precompressed…
