Progress toward fusion energy breakeven and gain as measured against the Lawson criterion
Samuel E. Wurzel, Scott C. Hsu
The Lawson criterion is a key concept in the pursuit of fusion energy, relating the fuel density , pulse duration or energy confinement time , and fuel temperature …
Potential Early Markets for Fusion Energy
Malcolm C. Handley, Daniel Slesinski, Scott C. Hsu
We identify potential early markets for fusion energy and their projected cost targets, based on analysis and synthesis of many relevant, recent studies and reports. Because privat…
Formation of Transient High- Plasmas in a Magnetized, Weakly Collisional Regime
T. Byvank, D. A. Endrizzi, C. B. Forest +3
We present experimental data providing evidence for the formation of transient (s) plasmas that are simultaneously weakly magnetized (i.e., Hall magnetization parameter…
Observation of Shock-Front Separation in Multi-Ion-Species Collisional Plasma Shocks
Tom Byvank, Samuel J. Langendorf, Carsten Thoma +1
We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of a He/Ar…
Experimental Study of Ion Heating in Obliquely Merging Hypersonic Plasma Jets
Samuel J Langendorf, Kevin C Yates, Scott C Hsu +2
In this experiment, we measure ion temperature evolution of collisional plasma shocks and colliding supersonic plasma flows across a range of species (Ar, Kr, Xe, N), Mach numbers,…
First experiments on Revolver shell collisions at the OMEGA Laser
Brett Scheiner, Mark J. Schmitt, Scott C. Hsu +9
Results of recent experiments on the OMEGA Laser are presented, demonstrating the ablator-driver shell collision relevant to the outer two shells of the Revolver triple-shell inert…
