Assessing Proton-Boron Fusion Feasibility under non-Thermal Equilibrium Conditions: Rider's Inhibition Revisited
S. J. Liu, D. Wu, B. Liu +4
Compared to the D-T reaction, the neutron-free proton-boron (p-B) fusion has garnered increasing attention in recent years. However, significant Bremsstrahlung losses pose a…
Extended Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory for Multi-Body Densities
Jiong-Hang Liang, Tian-Xing Hu, D. Wu +2
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is widely used for understanding and predicting properties and behaviors of matter. As one of the fundamental theorems in TDDFT, va…
Large-scale Kinetic Simulations of Colliding Plasmas within a Hohlraum of Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusions
Tianyi Liang, Dong Wu, Xiaochuan Ning +5
The National Ignition Facility has recently achieved successful burning plasma and ignition using the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) approach. However, there are still many fund…
Diagnosis of Fast Electron Transport by Coherent Transition Radiation
Yangchun Liu, Xiaochuan Ning, Dong Wu +8
Transport of fast electron in overdense plasmas is of key importance in high energy density physics. However, it is challenging to diagnose the fast electron transport in experimen…
A high-efficiency proton-boron fusion scheme taking into account the effects of quantum degeneracy
S. J. Liu, D. Wu, T. X. Hu +11
The proton-boron (p-B) reaction is regarded as the holy grail of advanced fusion fuels, since the primary reaction produces three particles with few neutrons and induced…
